The #AiteoCAFAwards kicks-off today with the event starting in about minutes at the International Conference Center, Accra Ghana.

However, CAF conducted an online poll on their official twitter handle in weeks to put together an official CAF XI to be announced today during the award gala.



The big and sad news is Nigeria's Chelsea Winger Victor Moses did not make the cut as he lost by 1% vote to Moroccan N. Ounnajem. Moses who earlier was beaten by Liverpool's Mo' Salah to the BBC African Player of the Year award in December 2017 also did not make the final cut for the 3-man shortlist of the African player of the Year loosing out to Borussia Dortmund and Gabon striker Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, Liverpool duo of Sadio Mane (Senegal) and Mohammed Salah (Egypt).

Here is the official XI in a 3-4-3 formation as put together by online voters
