Recipients of the 2022 CAF awards were announced on Wednesday, July 22. Sadio Mané scooped the coveted men’s African Player of the year award following his heroic exploits for Liverpool fc and the Senegalese national team.

The event hosted in Rabat Morocco graced the presence of legendary African footballers like Samuel Eto’o, Jay Jay Okoche, Emmanuel Adebayo, El Hadj Diouf, Rigobert Song, and Claude Makelele.
