African Ballon d'Or 2025: Hakimi, Salah or Osimhen, who will be crowned?

Ballon d’or africain 2025 : Hakimi, Salah ou Osimhen, qui sera sacré ?

The suspense is almost over. This Wednesday, November 19, 2025, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in Rabat will host the CAF Awards, the prestigious ceremony that recognizes the best in African football. Starting at 7 p.m. (local time), twelve awards will be presented, but all eyes will be on the 2025 African Player of the Year, the highlight of the evening.

Three finalists are vying for the ultimate crown this year.

Achraf Hakimi, right-back for Paris Saint-Germain and pillar of the Moroccan national team;

Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool icon and two-time winner of the title (2017, 2018);

Victor Osimhen, formidable centre-forward for Galatasaray and Nigeria, winner of the 2023 edition.

Of this trio, Hakimi is the only one yet to taste victory, despite two consecutive podium finishes. His consistency at the highest level and his performances both at club and international level make him the clear favorite for many observers this year.

By hosting the CAF Awards less than a month before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco confirms its status as a hub of continental football. With modern infrastructure, a well-established organization, and growing ambitions, the kingdom is increasingly establishing itself as a stronghold of African sport.

While Salah remains a reliable player and Osimhen a formidable competitor, the momentum clearly favors Achraf Hakimi. His influence at PSG, his consistency in big matches, and his key role in Morocco's recent successes give him a significant advantage.

It remains to be seen whether voters will follow the sporting logic of the year or spring a surprise. The answer will come this Wednesday evening in Rabat, at a ceremony that already promises to be memorable.

    Logiquement c'est Hakimi ! Mais comment peut on ecarter Sehrou Guirassy, ismaila sarr( deux trophées) ou pape Matar s. et Malick Diouf qui a tout gagné avec son précédent club au détriment de Osimhen ?
