Due to the absence of a major women’s competition during the period under review, the Organising Team for the CAF Awards 2022 has reviewed the selection process for this important category.
The TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Morocco will be factored as one of the criterion in deciding a winner befitting of the status of the award and women’s football in general.
The winner will be announced on 23 July 2022 during the final match of the Women’s AFCON.
Goal of the Year
Pape Ousmane Sakho (Senegal & Simba)
