Former Côte d’Ivoire forwarder and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has congratulated Victor Osimhen and Asisat Oshoala for winning 2023 CAF men’s and women’s Player of the Year award.

For Oshoala, it is a record-extending sixth CAF women’s Player of the Year.
Drogba, a winner of the CAF men’s Player of the Year in 2006 and 2009 wrote on X:“Long live the new King and Queen of Africa @victorosimhen9, @asisat_oshoala @caf_online. Congratulations my Nigerian People, we are waiting for you in January.”
