Nigeria Approved to Host 2026 CAF Awards Ceremony
Nigeria has received approval from President Bola Tinubu to host the 2026 Confederation of African Football (CAF) Awards. This decision was made during a meeting with CAF President Patrice Motsepe and Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu, among other officials.
The 48th CAF Ordinary General Assembly is scheduled for October 2026 and will gather representatives from CAF's 54 member associations across six zonal unions. The CAF Awards ceremony is recognized as the flagship event celebrating top performances in African football.
The most recent CAF Awards took place in Rabat, Morocco, on November 19, 2025, where Achraf Hakimi won the African Men's Player of the Year award. Nigeria has previously hosted the CAF Awards four times, with the last ceremony held at the Eko Hotel Convention Centre in January 2015.
