Leaving What Mane has won also let's not forget a female also got to win an award.
The Barcelona attacker won the CAF Player of the year Oshoala of Nigeria.
She has been outstanding no cap, she gives it her best every year.

You know why many aren't taking about her, it's now like a norm. She has won that award like 5 or 6 times now with back to back wins. The women football scene is heavily dominated by Nigeria and the player of the year award has been dominated by them too. The awards started in 2001 and Nigeria has won it for a record of 12 times. We also have 4 different Nigerian players win the awards back to back.

With this kind of domination it's hard for people to talk about them when they win things. Take Manchester city as an example, when they win the league we see it as a norm but if another club was to win it'll be talked about and praises given to the guys that made that possible. Nevertheless a big congratulations to Oshoala again.

It was another well deserved accolade, this was her fifth time of win the award, she had an amazing season with Barcelona and despite some injury troubles, she scored 24 goals from 28 appearances, that's not short of world class!

Congratulations to Mane too, he had arguably a better season than Salah, especially with his National side heroics.

In the final shortlist for 2022 African Men's Player of the Year, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Edouard Mendy were all named. A second time, Sadio Mane has been named African player of the year in 2022. Congratulations to Sadio Mané. It's totally deserved, since he played a major role in Senegal qualifying for the World Cup and winning the AFCON 2022. In the World Cup, I pray that he has a wonderful outing. There is no other player who is more deserving of this award than him. I congratulate you on being the Coolest King on the West Coast.

Maybe you're forgetting Edouard Mendy was also nominated so you can't say no other player deserve it more than him. Edouard Mendy has been in many finals in the last two years, won Individual awards for his contributions as a goal keeper. Lets not also forget he won last champions league trophy (season before this just concluded season).I'm just happy for Mane winning though because that guy has been disrespect alot recently at Liverpool. No matter what he does it seems he isn't be appreciated enough which is why I'm glad he isn't receiving this award as a Liverpool player.

This is the beginning of a new era for Sadio Mane. He would be winning many individual trophy now that he isn't under the shadow of Mo Salah. If he does well at the world cup, Senegal retain their title with huge contributions from him and Bayern Munich does what they knew how to do best at their league level (which is winning) couple with them winning the champions league then we might begin to have the ballon d'or debate for him.
Edouard Mendy is a very talented player, since been introduced to the North london club he has made quite an impressive impact in the team winning the Champions league and the premier league, indeed his performance has been outstanding and he deserved the awards in those years as a good keeper. I'm also happy Mane won the African best player, he is such a talented player and its a shame Liverpool had to lose him the way they did. I hope he proves himself at Bayern Munich and show Liverpool what they have lost.

I was happy to see Mane win the African Player of the Year. The award is deserving in sports and in character. When I viewed his award picture in black suit, Mane represented a true African. From his black color to his charity to the black people of Senegal to his hardwork down to his humility. He is a true African son, congratulations to him and I wish him success in his outing in Germany in Bayern Munich. He deserves nothing less than the best.

Edouard Mendy has contributed a lot to not just the success of his country but also to his club and should a keeper be considered, I feel the cap fits. But Sadio helped push his country into winning the afcon and also qualifying for world cup. He has made a lot of input to his home country and at his present club of Bayern.

Goal Keeper's rarely take this awards, that last I can remember that was nominated for such award and cane out first three was bayern munich goal keeper. But for me the Senegalese deserve it. I do no mind who wins since it is going to the Senegalese team then they deserve it. Mane response to the post was to give the award to anyone from the Senegal side. He missed out on the award that was given to Dounurrama PSG goal keeper.

For the winner I think Edouard Mendy deserve it more, he has the recent Champions league title to his name among the three shortlisted and also has the AFCON trophy which he was the main reason behind their wins. His saves were out of this world both in his champions league winning season and AFCON. Mane was the last winner and he wasn't that impactive just like his former team meta Mo Salah. Also I think we have to give goal keepers more credit and recognition.
Sadio Mane is the 2022 African player of the year for the second time. Obviously all these players are good and there isn't a big difference between them imo.
I agree that players others than forwarders are less recognised. When we see Real Madrid in Champions League, we all say they win thanks to Benzema and Venicius Junior but less people recognise how wonderful Courtois was and how much goals he saved..

I don't know if Mendy is really the best goalkeeper in the world. Not that that matters, but there are secretly quite a lot of good football players on the African continent. The problem with the countries, however, is that normally each country only has 1 or a maximum of 2 very good players, and you don't win matches against better opponents with that. Just think of Egypt with Salah and Sane near Senegal. But Senegal still has a lot of footballing ability outside of Sane. Players are also used to tropical temperatures, which could be another big advantage at this year's World Cup in Qatar.

Yes. I agree with you, Edouard Mendy. Right now Mendy is the best goalkeeper in the world. Last year, he won the best African International Award. He is the only goalkeeper to win the Champions league in his debut season. He also won the goalkeeper of the AFCON tournament(which most people I know disagreed.) Yet, I believe, he has done well and I believe he deserves to win the CAF  African Player of the Year.

Yes. The Super Falcon is one team that gladdens my heart even when they lose unlike their male counterparts. Some days ago, they lost to South-Africa but defeated Botswana in the Women's African Cup of Nation group match. Tomorrow they'll lock heads with Burundi and South-Africa with Botswana. South-African has the highest points (6) in the group. Nigeria shares the same point with Botswana (3). My prediction for tomorrows match is Nigeria 2 - 1 Burundi and South-Africa 1 - 0 Botswana
The Super Falcons of Nigeria are the best team in Africa as long as African women's football is concerned but we can not compare them to the Super Eagles team because the male football competition is more competitive and difficult than the female competition. Even though the Super Falcons lost in their game against South Africa they still had so many fans supporting and cheering them up like the male team that receives harsh words and abuses whenever they are defeated in a match that alone has been a major setback in the super eagle's team.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria will have an easy win against Burundi because following their last performance against Botswana, I believe they will be able to score two or more goals and I see the South African side sharing points with Botswana because the Botswana team will be hoping to win them so as to progress to the next stage and they hope Nigeria will not have a win against Burundi too.

Yes, what happens is that many times the love for the eagles is usually confused with the super falcons, and it is clearly as you say, the women's soccer team if it is something competitive, but the male version of soccer is more in demand In addition, everything is measured based on men's football, and as for the African league, for me it has quite a level, only as a foreigner and as a connoisseur of football I know that here a lot of work is done with the "thread" or with preferences , that is obviously caused by money, and it is something common, in South America it is also a very lucrative business model, although a little of that has already been cleaned up.

Who do you think it the most deserving for the CAF  African Player of the Year


This is the final shortlist so Vincent Aboubakar doesn't deserve to be there more than the names on the list. People you seen there are frequent names that have been representing African nation both on home soil and away in international league. All three players reach the finals which was as a result of them been solid for their nations. The final list is always a three man shortlist and there's no way you could have substituted any for Vincent.

For the winner I think Edouard Mendy deserve it more, he has the recent Champions league title to his name among the three shortlisted and also has the AFCON trophy which he was the main reason behind their wins. His saves were out of this world both in his champions league winning season and AFCON. Mane was the last winner and he wasn't that impactive just like his former team meta Mo Salah.

Who do you think it the most deserving for the CAF  African Player of the Year 2022 awards;
The nominees are;
-Mo Salah
-Edouard Mendy
-Sadio Mané

Sadio Mané will always have my bet, he is a great player even better that Mo Salah in important games, but many people will still want to argue. He is my candidate for this award. If not him, then Edouard Mendy. Names like Vincent Aboubakar for Cameroon should have been included because he had a great influence on his teams African cup of Nations games.

Nevertheless, the Super Falcons really defended this trophy and we take solace in the fact that they have qualified for the FIFA female World Cup.  
The world cup has always been the bigger picture, It is good that we were able to qualify for the world cup before these unexpected turn of events. I never pictured or could have predicted that their game against Morocco gets extended into the penalties even after the red cards, i thought it was over then for the falcons, but they proved to be an even better and more resilient team with the dogged display they still put up.

 These Ladies show more team spirit than our super eagles, there is no doubt that they will get so far in the world cup.
The are focused and more serious about their games, their performance has always been impressive.  The dominated the game all through, my happiness is that they are qualified to play for the world cup. It would have been so disappointing the ladies didn't qualify like how the super eagles didn't qualify.

The girls played fantastically well. I'm super impressed as well as super proud of them. This goes to show the strength of the team. They played confidently and fought gallantly till the end. I didn't like that lasers were directed towards the faces of the super falcons penalty takers and the goal keep. I hope CAF looks into it. South Africa is through to the finals. And my prediction is that they are going to win by 2 goals to 1.

Yes, I was impressed with their performance last night despite losing to the Moroccan ladies. The Super Falcons of Nigeria were at their best last night but failed to score in the first half of the game. The Falcons have always dominated the football league in Africa so I don't see any other team that matches their strength when it comes to tactical display and creativity in the field of play so holding Moroccan women to a 1:1 draw till the final whistle shows how good the team is.


The fight we saw last night between the Nigerian women and Moroccan women team would have been a tough one if not the red card that was given to Ayinde and Ajibade of the Nigerian team and this made the team lose strength but yet they struggled to keep the game alive until the penalty shoot-out which they eventually lost via the penalty missed of Onumonu, I will not talk much about the Lasers that were used to distract the Nigerian women team eyes until the right body (CAF) finishes theirr investigation.
The Super falcons have always performed better than the Super Eagles at international level. Conceding two red cards in a game against a strong side would always give the opponent an upper hand over your team. This was the situation with the Super falcons as they fought so hard for the rest of the game until the penalty shootouts. That was indeed an impressive performance and should be commended.
