Osimhen, Lookman Named in CAF Best XI

Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman have been named in the CAF FIFPro Best XI for 2024, recognizing their outstanding performances for both club and country. Lookman, who recently was awarded African Footballer of the Year, has excelled with Atalanta, highlighting his goal-scoring abilities. Osimhen, the former African Player of the Year, has regained form after his transfer to Istanbul, contributing significantly to his team's success. The Best XI also includes notable players such as Mohamed Salah, goalkeeper Andre Onana, and defenders Achraf Hakimi and Kalidou Koulibaly. The selection not only celebrates individual talent but also reflects the rising prominence of African football on the international stage. Additionally, it is noteworthy that Super Eagles captain William Troost Ekong was omitted from the list despite being named the AFCON MVP.
