year.

their dominance in the CAF
Champions League, when they
won an eighth title at the
expense of Orlando Pirates of
South Africa.
Tunisia’s Club Sfaxien won a third

past TP Mazembe also in the year
under review, but Ahly should
scoop this again.

Winner: Nigeria’s Kelechi
Iheanacho is expected to follow
more famous countrymen like
Mikel Obi and Taye Taiwo, who
have own this category.
Iheanacho was picked as the

of the tournament.

and his Ghanaian counterpart
Ebenezer Assifuah.

Winner: Stephen Keshi will rule
okay here after he became only
the second man to win the
AFCON both as a player and
coach.

all odds even with little hope in
his team from Nigerians. He also
qualified the team for Brazil 2014
World Cup as well as deliver CHAN
2014 ticket to Nigeria for the
first time.
Other nominees: Nigeria U17
coach Manu Garba and Paul Put
of Burkina Faso.

South Africa.

deserves to be named Africa
Footballer of 2013 following his

competition, helping them to win
a first-ever UEFA Europa League

Cote d'Ivoire midfielder is a good
player who did well for country
and club Manchester City.

failed to propel Cote d'Ivoire to
win AFCON, same as Yaya.
