A Moroccan football expert has criticised the Confederation of African Football's decision to name Ademola Lookman Player of the Year ahead of Hakimi Achraf.

The article from Legit.ng discusses the controversy surrounding the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Awards where Nigerian footballer Ademola Lookman was named the Player of the Tournament for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Moroccan football expert Walid Regragui criticized this decision, arguing that Achraf Hakimi, who played a pivotal role in Morocco's historic semi-final run, deserved the award more. Regragui highlighted Hakimi's exceptional performances and contributions to the team, suggesting that the award should reflect not just individual brilliance but also the impact on the team's success. He also pointed out the perceived bias in the selection process, questioning the criteria used by CAF for such prestigious awards. This critique has sparked a broader debate on how football awards are adjudicated, focusing on the balance between individual achievements and team success.
