The technical committee of the African Confederation, charged with choosing the best player in Africa, continues to steal, even improvise and randomize, as for the second time in a row it favors its injustice to the Lions of Morocco.
During the 2024 CAF Awards ceremony, which everyone was waiting for, to crown the deserving African Ballon d’Or, Achraf Hakimi, the same committee, in cooperation with a company that audited the selections, as stated in a statement by CAF President Motsepe, refused to continue its clowning and laughing at the beards by choosing the Nigerian Lokman. The striker of the Italian club Atalanta, to win the Ballon d’Or, in an unexpected surprise, and many who attended the awards ceremony in Marrakesh were astonished to the extent that there was Who exploded in anger and shouted that the international star, Achraf Hakimi, deserved the award for the best African player of the year, despite the objection of the voters, the company, Motsepe, and those in his orbit.
We do not know what are the criteria by which this Lokman was chosen, as he will not compete even with the former son of Raja, Sofiane Rahimi, who achieved titles that Lokman did not achieve in CAF and Nigeria, nor is he better than Real Madrid star Al-Assad Ibrahim Abdelkader Diaz, winner of the European Champions League and the La Liga Championship. And he is not better than the tycoon Ayoub Al-Kaabi, who did everything in the Conference League competitions.
While Achraf won the French Championship, won the French Cup, and won the bronze medal at the French Olympics, and he is always chosen in all the ideal international squads, neither Lokman nor Osimhen, who last year stole the Golden Ball from international goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who has achieved titles and is still Nigeria’s top scorer, is not in it. He nominates it.
In fact, the saying “The sweetness of Africa is its improvisation and randomness” is true, and Morocco and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation must reconsider receiving and organizing the “CAF” awards in our country, as long as the African Confederation does not respect itself first in awarding those who deserve awards, and does not respect what it offers. Morocco for CAF.
