One week after their presence in the Kopa Trophy rankings, the three prospects are now in contention for the 2026 CAF Awards. They are among the ten nominees revealed by the Confederation of African Football.
Ayyoub Bouaddi (Lille), Yan Diomande (Olympiakos), and Ibrahim Maza (Hertha Berlin) are the favorites for this edition. All three have impressed this season both at club and international level.
The winner will be announced at the ceremony scheduled for December. Malagasy bettors are closely following this race, as the three players are heavily favored.
