Mohamed Salah named on CAF Men's Player of the Year shortlist

Mohamed Salah has been named on the shortlist for Men’s Player of the Year at the 2025 CAF Awards.

The Liverpool No.11 was confirmed as one of 10 nominees for the accolade by the Confederation of African Football on Wednesday.

Salah, of course, was a spearhead of the Reds’ Premier League title success last season, topping the division’s charts for both goals (29) and assists (18), leading to a host of individual honours in recognition of his campaign.

Earlier this month, meanwhile, he helped Egypt secure qualification to the 2026 World Cup.
