Africa is a continent with an ever-growing affect on top level football, with many of the best club’s greatest stars emerging from that continent. From those players, the contenders on the 10-man shortlist for the 2025 African Footballer of the Year Award have now been revealed. Previous winner include the likes of Didier Drogba<\/a> (2006 & 2009), Yaya Tour\u00e9<\/a> (2011 & 2014), and Mohamed Salah<\/a> (2017 & 2018). Last year’s winner was Nigeria and Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman<\/a>.
