CAF Unveils 2025 Award Winners, Hakimi and Chebbak Shine in Morocco

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) staged the 2025 CAF Awards ceremony in Morocco on Wednesday, celebrating the continent’s finest performers across club and national competitions.

Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi was crowned Men’s Player of the Year, following an exceptional season that saw him play a key role in Paris Saint-Germain’s treble-winning campaign. In the women’s category, fellow Moroccan Ghizlaine Chebbak walked away with the Women’s Player of the Year award.

This year’s honours recognised standout achievements recorded between 6 January and 15 October 2025.
