Nigeria has been officially confirmed as the host for the 2026 CAF Awards, with Lagos set to welcome the prestigious event at the newly renovated Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts. This marks a significant return for Nigeria, which last hosted the awards in January 2017. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has yet to announce the official date or the complete list of award categories. The ceremony will celebrate outstanding achievements in African football, including awards for the best player, coach, and team. Notably, Nigerian stars Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman may be in contention for the Men's Player of the Year award, adding excitement to the event. This announcement also reinforces Nigeria's growing influence in African football administration, as the country prepares to host the 48th CAF Ordinary General Assembly in October. Further details regarding the event are expected to be released by CAF in the coming months.
