The Confederation of African Football (CAF) today announced the date for the 2026 annual CAF Awards ceremony, which will be held in the Nigerian city of Lagos on Monday, December 7. This announcement came after an important meeting of the executive committee of the confederation, where a number of key decisions concerning football competitions in Africa and the future plans of the federation were approved.
This ceremony is one of the most prominent sports events eagerly awaited by African football fans every year, as it represents recognition and honoring of the top talents and achievements. It celebrates the best male and female players, outstanding coaches, as well as national teams and clubs that have left a clear mark during the year 2026.
Nigeria’s hosting of CAF events is not limited to the awards ceremony only; the country’s economic capital, Lagos, will also host the regular general assembly of the Confederation of African Football, scheduled for November 21. This is part of a busy agenda filled with activities and meetings aimed at developing football on the continent.
This renewed hosting by Nigeria confirms its pivotal role in the African football scene and reflects the trust the African Football Confederation places in it to organize major events. The 2026 CAF Awards ceremony is expected to witness a large attendance of prominent sports figures and football stars from across the continent.
