Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen has been named the African men’s footballer of the year while his compatriot Asisat Oshoala, the Barcelona forward, claimed the top prize in the women’s category.
Osimhen scored 26 goals, topping the Serie A scoring charts as he helped Napoli end a 33-year wait for the Italian title last season. The Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Paris Saint-Germain’s Moroccan wing-back Achraf Hakimi were the other two final nominees.
“It is a dream come true,” the 24-year-old Osimhen said at the ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco. “I have to thank everybody who has helped me on this journey, and all Africans who have helped to put me on the map despite my faults.”
The Napoli striker is the first Nigerian player to win the award since Nwankwo Kanu in 1999. Senegal’s Sadio Mané had won the previous two awards, in 2019 and 2022. Samuel Eto’o (Cameroon) and Yaya Touré (Ivory Coast) have each won the award four times.
