Full List of 2023 CAF Awards Winners
In a dazzling ceremony held on Monday night in Marrakech, Morocco, the 2023 Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) Awards celebrated the continent’s football excellence.
Nigeria’s prolific striker, Victor Osimhen, emerged as the Player of the Year, securing the honor for his pivotal role in Napoli’s league title triumph last season. Osimhen outshone formidable contenders, including Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi and Egypt’s goal-scoring sensation, Mohammed Salah.
Meanwhile, Asisat Oshoala, the talented Nigerian forward, etched her name in history by claiming the CAF Women’s Player of the Year for an unprecedented sixth time. Her stellar performances propelled Barcelona to Champions League glory, eclipsing competition from South Africa’s Thembi Kgatlana and Zambia’s Barbara Banda.
Chiamaka Nnadozie, Oshoala’s teammate and Paris FC captain, celebrated her maiden triumph, clinching the CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year award. Nnadozie surpassed fellow nominees Khadija Er-Rmichi of Morocco and South Africa’s Andile Dlamini to secure the groundbreaking accolade.
Desiree Ellis, the astute coach of the South African senior women’s national team, retained her coaching accolade after steering the team to their first-ever TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations victory and a second FIFA Women’s World Cup appearance. Ellis has now claimed this prestigious honor in 2018, 2019, and 2022.
Morocco’s Yassine Bounou claimed the title of the Best African Goalkeeper, prevailing over Andre Onana of Cameroon and Egypt’s Mohamed El-Shenawy. His national team coach, Walid Regragui, secured the top coaching award in the men’s category. Regragui’s leadership guided Morocco to a historic World Cup semi-final run in Qatar, triumphing over Senegal’s Aliou Cisse and Algeria’s Abdelhak Benchika.
The 2023 CAF Awards showcased not only individual brilliance but also celebrated the collective achievements that have marked a remarkable year in African football.
