How did Osimhen have a better season that Hakimi. They both won the leagues of their respective clubs. Osimhen and the Nigerian team couldn't even make it to the world cup while Hakimi reached the semi final of the world with Morocco - the first time an African team ever achieved such.

Hakimi was missing in top 10 rated world footballer.... Osimhen made the list ..and settles around 6th in world or so.

Best footballer is always an individual award..we are talking about the overall best African player in the world.

Oshimeh deserves this... anything else na nonsense

Victor is the clear favourite to win this award. CAF shouldn't rob him like they robbed Mikel in 2013.

jkpbestseries:
lets see how they will rig this one

INEC nor dey

I feel for goalies
They never get to win this award
Yaccine Bonou & Onana

2023 CAF Player Award: Osimhen, Salah, Hakimi Make Final Three Shortlist


Super Eagles and Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, will battle Mohamed Salah of Egypt and Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi for the 2023 CAF Men’s Player of the Year award, Completesports.com reports.




The final three shortlist was announced by CAF on their X handle.

Osimhen is hoping to become the first Nigerian since Nwankwo Kanu in 1999 to win the award.

On Monday in Milan, the 24-year-old was named the Italian Footballers’ Association (AIC) Player of the Year for the 2022/23 Serie A season.

Salah has been a recipient of the award after winning it twice in 2017 and 2018.


For Hakimi, he will become the first Moroccan to win the award after Mustapha Hadji in 1998.

Other Nigerians who made the final shortlist in their different categories include Asisat Oshoala, Deborah Abiodun and Chiamaka Nnadozie.

Oshoala is in the running to defend her Women’s Player of the Year award as she is in the three-player shortlist with Barbara Banda of Zambia and Thembi Kgatlana of South Africa.

Nnadozie is in contention for Goalkeeper of the Year while Abiodun made the final nominee for Women’s Young Player of the Year award.

Earlier CAF shortlisted Nigeria for the 2023 Women’s National Team of the Year alongside Morocco and South Africa.

The winners will be announced on Monday, 11 December in Marrakech, Morocco.

Hakimi got this one.

No sentiments here, world ppl better wise up.

Haydens:
Salah's performance last season was poor, Hakimi's own was nothing to write home about but Oshimen gave glory to his club so there's high probability that he'll win it, while Hakimi wins the man who saw the future of the year award.

Hakimi brought glory to men by countering his wife's devious move.

Its a world cup year in review. Morroco became the first African nation in semis that counts for Hakimi

But Osimhen tops him in FIFA World best.

It's a tricky decision between Hakimi and Osimhen. Osimhen secured the League cup, emerged as the highest goal scorer in Italy, earned the title of Serie A Footballer of the Year, and was ranked 8th best footballer in the world.
On the other hand, Hakimi contributed to Morocco's World Cup qualification and made history by leading them to the semifinals, a first for any African country. Also won the league cup for club.

The World Cup achievement and reaching the semis already give Hakimi a significant advantage. Victor, similarly, clinched the best player in Serie A and the highest goal scorer titles, along with being named the 8th best footballer globally.

Considering how CAF prioritizes such matters, it's likely they will give higher importance to the World Cup achievements as it elevates the continent. While, in my opinion, Victor's individual performance and higher rating make him a strong contender, I predict Hakimi will ultimately win the award.

The award has been settled already by the Ballon d'or award list , so it's for Victor Osimhen..


There's no way another African will trump the one who finished 8th in the World in general

Why is Buono not among.

With this list, I guess it's OSIMHEN's year . Congrats NIGERIANS in advance

Victor all the way

Some say Osimhen scored lot of goals. Hakimi also had clean sheets for morroco.
Tho I feel Y.bono deserves the shout more. Winning the Europa league with sevilla and doing grt with morroco. All the best to Osimhen.

Ballondor is for players playing in Europe.
E.g pele will never win ballondor as he never played in Europe. Ballondor covers only players playing in Europe Ucl. UeL & EcL
