CAF Team of the Year
CAF football award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The CAF Team of the Year is an annual football award given by the Confederation of African Football during the CAF Awards.
In 2007,[1] the CAF did not choose the team of the year, but rather the best ten players of the last fifty years. The ten players chosen were Mahmoud El Khatib and Hossam Hassan of Egypt, Roger Milla and Samuel Eto'o of Cameroon, Abedi Pele of Ghana, Kalusha Bwalya of Zambia, George Weah of Liberia, Rabah Madjer of Algeria, Didier Drogba of the Ivory Coast, and Nwankwo Kanu of Nigeria.
