Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has won the 2023 CAF men’s player of the year award.

The awards gala took place on Monday, December 11, at the Palais des Congrès, Movenpick, Marrakech, Morocco.

Osimhen is first Nigerian player to be named African men’s player of the year in 24 years after Nwankwo Kanu claimed the coveted award in 1999.

Rashidi Yekini, Emmanuel Amuneke and Victor Ikpeba are the only other Nigerians who were previously named the best players on the continent.

Kanu, however, remains the only one to have won the award more than once (1996 and 1999).
