The players, of African origin, were celebrated at the BOA Awards, held in London on Monday evening
Alex Iwobi and his Arsenal teammate Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang alongside Mohamed Salah were among the big winners at 2018 Best of Africa Awards.
The BOA Awards is aimed at honouring and celebrating the philanthropic endeavours and achievements of players of African origin.
Iwobi received the Philanthropic Endeavour: Community Action award for the role the Nigeria international has played to impact communities, remarkably.
Salah, currently enjoying a sensational debut season at Liverpool, headlined the names the Best of Africa Premier League XI.
The 43-goal forward was joined on the list by teammate Sadio Mane, renowned EPL tackler Wilfred Ndidi, Aubameyang, Nathan Ake, Eric Bailly, N’Golo Kante, Paul Pogba, Wilfried Zaha and Romelu Lukaku.
The duo of Vincent Kompany and Leroy Sane capped off the team after their exploits in Manchester City's remarkable run to the English Premier League title.

There are three things you van do to obtain a nationality.you van obtain nationality by birth,nationalisation and through your parents.so if a player was born un France he first have territorial nationality so he van chose to play either for France play for his country of origine also there are players which have parent of different nationality and There he van chose were to play so stop saying that they can't play for thier country of origin.

Do your research before you speak, their parents birthplace. Not all of these players have parents from Africa homeboy. Just because someone is black doesn’t mean Africa brother
I did.your information is wrong

no sby. you obviously know nothing about football if your parents were born inlets say Nigeria and you were born in France. you are considered African and can play for either country. like Diego Costa. or Scott mctominay

Wrong: they cannot play for any African country, they can play for the place they were born in.

For everyone who are asking what the frsnh people and others are doing there. this is for all the players of aftican descentwhich means they are all part African or have a parent that is African. they could also all play for an aftican country but most chose not to
