As the African Ballon d’Or ceremony scheduled for December 16, 2024 in Morocco approaches, Football Africa is holding its breath. Among the brightest names, that of the Guinean international Serhou Guirassy shines like a star guiding the hope of an entire people. As a Guinean journalist, I would like to express my unwavering support for this exceptional athlete who, through his remarkable performances, deserves to be crowned African Ballon d’Or.
A historic season for an exceptional player
Serhou Guirassy hasn’t just been a player this season; he was a leader, a driving force and a source of inspiration. With his German club, VfB Stuttgart, he literally shattered records. Author of 28 goals in 28 matches in the Bundesliga, Guirassy made an impression with his consistency and his ability to be decisive in crucial moments.
A remarkable stint at Dortmund
Serhou Guirassy made his mark and continues to make his mark at Borussia Dortmund, an emblematic Bundesliga club known for its rich history and its demand for performance. His presence in Dortmund, Guirassy demonstrates the extent of his talent, establishing himself as a formidable and versatile attacker.
In the yellow and black jersey, Guirassy played 11 matches, scoring 6 goals in the Bundesliga. This impressive offensive performance, coupled with his team play and his flair in front of goal, has made him one of the most feared players in the German championship. He particularly distinguished himself in the Champions League, scoring decisive goals which allowed Dortmund to have a good position in the competition.
Arriving in a squad already well stocked with talent, Guirassy was able to integrate quickly thanks to his tactical intelligence and his ability to be decisive in crucial moments. Whether playing up front or supporting another attacker, he adapted to Dortmund’s varied playing systems while displaying remarkable efficiency.
Dortmund is a crucial step in Serhou Guirassy’s career, allowing him to compete in high-level competitions while developing his footballing maturity.
It is this trajectory, combining raw talent and hard work, which makes Serhou Guirassy a serious and legitimate candidate for the 2024 African Ballon d’Or.
On the international stage, he proudly wore the colors of Guinea, scoring key goals during the CAN 2025 qualifiers and helping the Syli National to clean brows during their meetings with Ethiopia and the DR Congo in a strong group. His performances transcended statistics, embodying the fighting spirit and resilience of the Guinean nation.
A pride for Guinea and Africa
Serhou Guirassy represents more than just a player for Guinea. He is the symbol of a generation that aspires to shine on the world stage. In a context where Guinean football is still seeking its place among the greats of Africa, its success would be a victory not only for it, but for all those who believe in the untapped potential of our football.
His humility, his work ethic and his love for his country make him a role model for young Guinean and African talents. This African Ballon d’Or would be deserved recognition for his dedication and an inspiration for an entire generation.
A call for recognition
As a Guinean sports journalist, it is my duty to plead for recognition commensurate with his exploits. Serhou Guirassy proved on the field that he is the best African player of the year. He challenged the toughest defenses, strengthened his teammates and amazed the fans.
Today, it is up to CAF and voters to celebrate this exceptional talent. This choice will not only reward one player, but will also honor the collective effort and the progress of African football as a whole.
