The 2023 CAF Awards were held in a glittering ceremony on Friday night, and it was a night of celebration for Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen, who was named the Men’s Player of the Year. Osimhen, who plays as a striker for Napoli in the Italian Serie A, had an outstanding year and was rightly recognized for his achievements.
The 24-year-old had a stellar year, scoring crucial goals for his club and country and putting in impressive performances throughout the season. His goal-scoring prowess and ability to make an impact on the pitch set him apart from his peers, and it was no surprise to see him take home the prestigious award.
Osimhen’s journey to the top has been nothing short of remarkable. He burst onto the scene as a young talent in Nigeria and quickly made a name for himself with his goal-scoring exploits. His move to Europe saw him rise to prominence, and he has continued to impress with his performances at the highest level.
The Men’s Player of the Year award is a testament to Osimhen’s hard work, dedication, and talent. It is a fitting recognition of his contribution to the sport and a validation of his status as one of the best players on the continent.
In his acceptance speech, Osimhen expressed his gratitude for the award and dedicated it to his teammates, coaches, and fans who have supported and believed in him throughout his career. He also spoke about his desire to continue to improve and strive for even greater success in the future.
The 2023 CAF Awards also saw other deserving winners, including Asisat Oshoala who was named the Women’s Player of the Year. The awards celebrated the outstanding achievements of African footballers and provided a platform to showcase the talent and skill present on the continent.
As we look ahead to the upcoming football season, there is no doubt that Osimhen will continue to be a player to watch. His recognition as the Men’s Player of the Year is a testament to his abilities and serves as motivation for him to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the football pitch.
The 2023 CAF Awards were a night to remember, and Victor Osimhen’s victory was a highlight of the event. As he celebrates this achievement, we can only look forward to seeing what he has in store for the future and how he will continue to leave his mark on the beautiful game. Congratulations to Victor Osimhen on a well-deserved win.

Nice speech azizat
That dying of his hair different colours – especially dirty blond – makes him look bush. Makes him resemble all those unsophisticated players from francophone countries that used to full european clubs in those days.
A very big congratulations to both of them
Still puzzles me that the most prestigious award in CAF, is given to the people who are not even playing in the CAF😢.

Congratulations to Azizat Oshola as well, I commend her wonderful speech as regard Africans working together to make Africa a great continent globally.
I also in a very special way appreciate CAF Award organization for being fair in giving CAF Award to players who really deserved it unlike the child's play usually seen in the ballon d'or Award Ceremony.
