Ayyoub Bouaddi (Morocco), Yan Diomandé (Ivory Coast) and Ibrahim Maza (Algeria) have a head start. Their performances at club and international level have impressed.

The winner will be announced at the 2026 CAF Awards. Malagasy bettors can already study the statistics of these three talents before placing their bets.
