CAF Awards Set for December 2026 in Lagos, Nigeria

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially announced that the 2026 CAF Awards will take place in Lagos, Nigeria, on Monday, December 7, 2026. This confirmation was made by the CAF Executive Committee, which designated Lagos as the host city for this prestigious continental awards ceremony.

The CAF Awards aim to recognize exceptional performances in African football, honoring players, coaches, clubs, and national teams that have excelled throughout the year. The event is expected to attract some of the most prominent figures in African football.

Additionally, Nigeria will host the CAF Ordinary General Assembly on Saturday, November 21, 2026, just weeks prior to the awards ceremony. While the specific venue within Lagos has not been disclosed, this event marks a significant opportunity for Nigeria to enhance its role in African football affairs, a position that has been lacking for the country, which is one of Africa's most decorated in the sport.
