Ivory Coast’s Simon Adingra also made the cut after a remarkable club season, while DR Congo’s Chancel Mbemba and Guinea’s Serhou Guirassy earned their spots due to their impressive performances throughout the year.

Rounding out the list are Burkina Faso’s Edmond Tapsoba and South Africa’s Ronwen Williams, highlighting the diverse talent across the continent.

The nominees, hailing from top leagues in both Europe and Africa, underscore the growing global influence of African football.

This year’s selection combines established stars with emerging talent, all celebrated for their exceptional performances and consistency in 2024.
