The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that the 2024 African player of the year awards will be held in December.
In a post via X on Thursday, the continental football governing body revealed that the award event will be held in Marrakech, Morocco on December 16.
“It’s this time of the year again. 🤩“#CAFAwards2024. December 16. Marrakech, Morocco. Mark your calendars,” it wrote.
