Salah Misses Africa POTY
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced a list of 10 nominees for the 2026 African Player of the Year award. Egypt’s Mohamed Salah was absent, and no Algerian players made the list. The nominees include three Moroccans—Ismael Saibari, Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Díaz—and three Senegalese players—Sadio Mané, Pape Gueye and Idrissa Gana Gueye. Also nominated are Yoane Wissa of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Teboho Mokoena of South Africa, Ghana’s Antoine Semenyo and Amad Diallo of Côte d’Ivoire. The report attributed the Moroccan players’ inclusion to reaching the World Cup quarter-finals, and the Senegalese players’ to reaching the final of the previous Africa Cup of Nations. It also noted that Hakimi is a leading contender to retain the award after winning the UEFA Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain.
