The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has moved the 2026 CAF Awards ceremony to December 2 in Lagos, bringing it forward by five days.
This was announced the revised date in a statement on Tuesday.
The Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, formerly the National Arts Theatre, will remain the venue.
The event will mark the CAF Awards’ return to Lagos for the first time since 2014, with leading players, coaches, clubs and other stakeholders expected to gather to celebrate achievements in African football.
A total of 18 categories will be recognised, including the CAF Men’s Player of the Year and CAF Women’s Player of the Year awards.
Other honours will recognise outstanding performances by coaches, goalkeepers, emerging players, clubs and national teams.
Meanwhile, voting for the 2026 awards is ongoing and will close on November 20 for both the men’s and women’s categories.
