The news is not good for Simon Adingra and Achraf Hakimi as the big 2024 African Ballon d’Or ceremony approaches. In a poll carried out by Foot Africa, Internet users chose the winner.
As soon as the survey was launched, more than 10,000 people have already spoken out. In the 2024 African Ballon d’Or ranking, Simon Adingra occupies 4th place, and Achraf Hakimi, 2nd.
Currently, more than 60 thousand people have already voted. And according to this survey, two players clearly stand out as favorites to win this prestigious prize: Ademola Lookman, the Nigerian striker playing for Atalanta in Serie A, and Serhou Guirassy, the Guinean striker who shines in the Bundesliga with VfB Stuttgart .
Ademola Lookman has shown impressive consistency over the past season. His offensive efficiency and his crucial role in Atalanta’s results, both in the league and in European competitions, make him a strong contender.
He was decisive on several occasions and showed consistent form which caught the attention of fans and analysts. In addition, Lookman has been able to combine creativity and the ability to score, qualities which reinforce his place among the favorites for the prize.
Serhou Guirassy, for his part, was one of the great revelations of the season in the Bundesliga. With 30 goals scored, he was one of the top scorers in the championship.
This allowed him to be noticed by major European clubs, notably Borussia Dortmund, where he recently signed. His exceptional performances with Stuttgart, as well as his influence with Guinea, also place him among the main contenders.
The suspense remains as the CAF Awards 2024 ceremony approaches, scheduled for December 16, 2024 in Marrakech, where the African Ballon d’Or will be awarded.
It will be an opportunity to celebrate the players who marked the year, with distinctions also for the best coach and the best player.
Thus, this edition of the CAF Awards promises to be exciting and will highlight the diversity of African football, with fierce competition for the title of best African player.
