You may right anyways, because there's less competition in African player market nowadays. Before, Africa continent had great players and the competition use to be so intense...

Today, African Player of the Year Award is always one blind man competition; very boring and uneventful!.

Congratulations Mane

I don’t believe okocha deserved that award ahead of those that won it during okochas time. But for clarity sake, please do mention what year you think okocha deserved it and we’d compare and contrast his achievements that year against that of the winner for the said year.
formerUKSF:



Sir what I'm saying is if caf was fair enough okocha should have won caf African player of the year.

Sadio Mane is an excellent player on and off the ball. Able to make defence splitting passes and dangerous crosses. Knows when to stray out wide and when to cut in middle. Great at both left and right foot. Versatile overall, able to drift into CAM and CF during the absence of Firmino.

The thing about Mane that stands out for me is that all his attributes that make him a good player, comes from his teammates. He will be my definition of “Team Player”. Sure, he doesn’t have a range of tricks like Neymar or close control like Messi, but he can make runs like no other. Mane’s off the ball work rate is outstanding. He can play both directly and indirectly. Most importantly, he is able to track back and help with the defence when needed.

When Mane is playing with a team with players like Firmino and Salah, he can only be so good. He is only as good as the team he will be playing. He definitely isn’t a game changer, but he isn’t too quiet either. I would not say he is overrated, but I would not say he is underrated as well.

Anyway, this answer is my personal opinion.


Well said. wink wink

in 2008 emmanuel adebayor was awarded the african player award even when he didn't deserve it. Arsenal went trophyless that year. It was supposed to be given to abutrika of egypt.... Now you know caf is not pure.
All those awards are... Just awards

Sadio Mane has won the 2022 African Player of the Year prize ahead of Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, claiming the prestigious award at a glitzy ceremony in Rabat on Thursday.

It is the Senegal international's second African Player of the Year title to become the fifth African after El Hadji Diouf, Samuel Eto’o, Yaya Toure, and Salah to win the award back-to-back.

Having been recognised as the best player on the continent, he is now two triumphs short of Eto’o and Toure – who won the prize a record four times.

Meanwhile, Super Falcons and Barcelona superstar Asisat Oshoala won the 2022 African Women’s Player of the Year ahead of Ajara Nchout Njoya (Cameroon and Inter Milan) and Zambia international Grace Chanda (Zambia and BIIK Kazygurt).

True....You can see there's no controversy or arguments.
Unlike the European version and Premier league PFA.
Congrats to Mane!
