GLO-CAF AWARDS 2018
Ben MALANGO among the best thirty-four!
December 1, 2018
The months of December often rhyme with plebiscites and distinctions. CAF is not exempt, since like every year, it has published an expanded list of the best African players in the world.
Thirty-four (34) players – including TPM's Ben MALANGO NGITA – and fifteen (15) female players were nominated for the two flagship awards: African Male Player of the Year and Female African Player of the Year.
Having scored seven goals in the Champions League last season, it could have been a big year for Big Ben under the Mazembe colors if TPM had gone over the quarters. Never mind, we can only congratulate the Ravens center forward for his presence among the thirty-four best African players.
The awards gala, intended to honor footballers and officials who have distinguished themselves during the year, will be held on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 in Dakar, Senegal.
