Osimhen deserves African player of the year. Oshoala deserves that as well. For goalkeeper, I'll agree with Bounou especially from his performance during the world cup and the Europa league. Nnadozie deserves the goalkeeper for the women. Coach of the year for the men is Walid Regragui, he deserves that and he made Africa proud during the world cup. Morocco again, Reynald, she did extremely well during the women world cup; I was expecting Nigeria but since they aren't there than no one deserves such than Reynald. National team of the year is Senegal, no doubt. National women's team of the year is Nigeria. Al Ahly have been doing excellently well so I think they deserve that. For the women will be Sporting Casablanca. Amara Diouf and Lamine Camara have been up to their peak and that award is tough to choose between them. Deborah Abiodun is no doubt to win that for the women. Interclub of the year for the men is Fiston Mayele, no exceptions, this lad had been extremely better than his past time in the game. Refilwe and Lebohang have been pretty well excellent and getting into their best careers and it starts with this year's performances.
