KGKehinde Giwa

The 2026 CAF Awards ceremony has been rescheduled for December 2.

In a statement on Tuesday, the African football governing body announced that the event has been moved forward by five days.

CAF gave no reason for the change, but the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, formerly the National Art Theatre, in Lagos, remains the venue for the ceremony.

The award gala will begin by 7 pm Nigerian time, and the voting process runs till November 20.

In October, CAF had announced that the award event would be held on December 7 — two weeks after the confederation’s forthcoming Ordinary General Assembly in Abuja.

No Super Falcons player was nominated for the women’s player of the year prize, for the first time since the award’s inception in 2001.

Similarly, no Super Eagles player made the men’s player of the year shortlist for the first time since 2015.

However, Janet Akekoromowei and Flamingos’s Oluwakemi Adegbuyi will be up for the best young talent prize. Edo Queens’ Chriatiana Uzoma is also named in the running for the best goalkeeper award.

Nigeria last hosted the award gala on January 6, 2017, when Algeria’s Riyad Mahrez won the men’s best player award, and Asisat Oshoala won the women’s prize.
