REVEALED: No Ghanaian player in Africa’s best eleven of 2019

The awards gala, organized amidst pomp and splendor had the greatest in the game of football on the continent gracing the scene. In a tranquil football setting, the CAF Awards 2019 rewarded the various role players in several categories for their contributions towards the growth of the game both on and off the pitch in the calendar year.

It was during this event that an announcement for the FIFPro Africa Eleven was made known to the viewers and those monitoring online.

Unsurprisingly, no Ghanaian player made the list voted for by fellow professional African footballers.

After another disappointing AFCON campaign, it was barely expected that a Ghanaian player will get such recognition especially when most of them didn’t have excellent seasons at the club level.

Making the list is Cameroon and Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana with Serge Aurier (Ivory Coast/Tottenham Hotspurs) Achraf Hakimi (Morocco/Dortmund), Joel Matip (Cameroon/Liverpool), and Kalidou Khoulibaly (Senegal/Napoli ) complete the list of defenders.

The midfielders are Idrissa Gueye (Senegal/PSG), Riyadh Mahrez (Algeria/Man City) and Hakim Ziyech (Morocco/Ajax Amsterdam).

The list is completed by the likes of
Mohammed Salah (Egypt/Liverpool), Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon/Arsenal) and Sadio Mane (Senegal/Liverpool)
