Morocco has once again secured the hosting of the annual CAF Awards ceremony for 2025, reaffirming its position as a key destination for organizing major sporting events on the continent.

The choice of the Kingdom by CAF was not a mere coincidence; it came as a result of continuous success in organizing major events, in addition to an outstanding infrastructure and logistics that make it a model to be followed across Africa.

In terms of history, Samuel Eto'o and Yaya Touré top the list of players with the most African Player of the Year awards, each having won it four times, while Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, and Didier Drogba have each received the award twice.

Abedi Pele has also won the award three times, affirming that this award brings together the continent's most prominent stars over the decades and highlights their significant impact on the development of African football.

In this year's edition, Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi made it to the final list after an outstanding season with Paris Saint-Germain and the national team, facing strong competition from Egyptian Mohamed Salah and Nigerian Victor Osimhen.

The CAF Awards remain a platform to showcase the best African talents, with each season reflecting the level of competition and talent, proving that Morocco continues to be a trusted partner of the African Union and international sports organizations.
