2026 CAF Awards Ceremony to Take Place in Lagos on December 2

The 2026 edition of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Awards Ceremony will take place in Lagos on December 2, according to multiple sources. This announcement comes after a series of reports from various Nigerian media outlets, including Premium Times Nigeria, Western Post, Business News Nigeria, PM News Nigeria, and The Sun Nigeria. The exact location of the ceremony and the list of nominees have yet to be announced. The CAF Awards, which celebrate the best of African football, have been held annually since 2017. Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has hosted several high-profile events in the past, including the 2019 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards and the 2020 MTV Africa Music Awards. This year’s ceremony is expected to attract football enthusiasts and celebrities from across the continent. The CAF Awards Ceremony is an important event for the Nigerian football community and African football as a whole. It provides an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the achievements of African footballers, coaches, and clubs. This year’s edition is particularly significant as it comes after a difficult period for African football, with the COVID-19 pandemic causing disruptions to various competitions and events. However, with vaccination rates increasing and travel restrictions easing, the football community is hopeful for a return to normalcy in the coming year.
