Nigeria’s quadruple of Victor Osimhen, Asisat Oshoala, Chiamaka Nnadozie, and Deborah Abiodun have made the final shortlist for the 2023 CAF Awards.
The African football governing body confirmed the finalists for the CAF awards – billed for Morocco next Monday – in posts on its social media platforms on Thursday.

Osimhen, who plays for Napoli in the Italian Serie, will do battle with Egyptian Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and PSG’s Achraf Hakimi who was part of Morocco’s historical World Cup run in Qatar late last year.
For the Women’s category, Oshoala is on the cusp of a record-extending fifth CAF Women’s Player of the Year gong. The Barcelona Femeni star was on the team’s treble-winning side last season. She also scored one goal as the Super Falcons reached the last 16 of the FIFA Women’s World Cup played earlier in the year.
