The top three lists are from the lists of nominees previously revealed by CAF in both the men and women categories.
In the Player of the Year category, four-time winner Asisat Oshoala of Nigeria is in the hunt for a fifth crown.
However, she faces stiff opposition from Cameroonian Ajara Nchout Njoya and new entrant Grace Chanda of Zambia for the Women’s category.
In the men’s category, former winners Mohamed Salah (Egypt) and Sadio Mane (Senegal) will have to battle it out with Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
However, the list for the National Women Team of the Year award was not among those released due to the absence of a major women’s competition during the period under review.
The Organising Team for the CAF Awards 2022 slated for 20h00 local time (19h00 GMT) has reviewed the selection process for this important category.
The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) will be factored as one of the criteria in deciding a winner befitting of the status of the award and women’s football in general.
The winner will be announced on Saturday during the WAFCON final match.

Nimrod made the call on Sunday during the third edition of the Hoba Development Association, Abuja Chapter, novelty sports event held at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.
He noted that physical activities such as sports are vital to fostering family bonds, community interaction, and overall well-being.

Men, women, and children from the Hoba community participated in various sporting activities, including volleyball, badminton, football, and aerobics—all aimed at encouraging relaxation, fitness, and bonding among families.
