The race for Africa’s biggest individual football honour is set for a blockbuster finish after Achraf Hakimi, Victor Osimhen, and Mohamed Salah were officially announced as the final three nominees for the 2025 CAF Men’s Player of the Year award.
CAF confirmed the shortlist on Friday, setting up a high-profile showdown between three of the continent’s most accomplished stars. Morocco’s Hakimi enjoyed a standout year at Paris Saint-Germain, where his consistency, versatility and attacking impact from right-back earned widespread praise.
Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen also makes the final cut after another prolific season leading the line for club and country. The Super Eagles forward remained one of Africa’s most feared finishers, combining goals, movement and leadership to keep his name firmly in the conversation.
Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah completes the trio. The Liverpool forward delivered yet another season of world-class performances, contributing heavily in goals and assists while maintaining his status as one of the Premier League’s most influential players.
The winner will be crowned at the CAF Awards ceremony in Rabat on November 19, where several other categories — including Coach, Goalkeeper and Interclub Player of the Year — will also be decided.
This year’s finalists represent excellence across Europe’s elite leagues, and the battle for the crown promises one of the most closely watched CAF Awards nights in recent years.
