It is ironical that shortlisted players who should be Africa's best from where Salah emerged overall best could not make Africa xI. CAF?

Wrong, wrong bro.

U are saying this becus u saw players who play here in Africa and not in Europe.

U know we have this problem in nigeria, we just think only Eurpe based players deserve such recognition.

Well, that best 11 is made of great players. I follow African club football and the combination is great. Those players are good players and the mix with European players is perfect.

Also, CAF didn't do the selection, fans did. Fans made their choice and I mean fans who follow both club footballers in Africa and Europe.. We only follow African footballers in Europe as Nigerians.. We can't judge fairly then. Those who voted and selected the best 11 players are very familiar with both club football in Africa and Europe.

How come our own coach couldn't the coach of the year and even moses is not in the fans xi...... Useless CAF

The award was done through voting.
Y'all bashing CAF should understand that.
Moses didn't make top 3 because he had less votes than Salah,Mane and Auba.
Gernot Rhor missed out because he had less votes.

CaF didn't just wake up and snub Moses and Rhor.

Nigerians, even the ones crying foul, did not cast any vote.

If you didn't vote, how do you expect Moses to get something

Nigeria has a population of over 140,000,000 people and i bet at least 10,000,000 are football fans and yet Moses missed out.

Leave CaF out of this.
Blame those Nigerians that didn't vote for Moses. They are the reason why he missed out, not CaF.

Salah should just marry Oshoala so that they can give birth to a future world best.
They are muslims afterall, easier said and done.

It is because there is a category known as best african based player award. This means that there are fantastic players based in the continent u wouldn't see on the African footballer of the year award category but u can find them on the best 11 players.

Fans voted and I'm sure u didn't vote. Next time try and vote. What u need to understand is that in southern and northern part of Africa, the fans follow their local league more than they follow the European leagues.. This makes them push their players for such awards more.

those of you saying sallah deserved the award, did you ask yourself what measure was use for the award? for victor Moses not to make the 3rd final list it say a lot of this award. the last time i check the award is for 2017 performance not 2018. were was sallah when Moses was winning best player of the months, man of the match and even won the league for Chelsea, Moses contributed a lot to Nigeria qualifying for world cup and so on. sallah performance did not qualified him to win the award this year.

CAF president just scrapped the best African based player award. The next CAF best African player award will have both African based and non-African based players.

Imagine Moses and Mane absent in the finest X1. I think north africans voted in more larger numbers than fans from other parts of Africa, that explains the preponderance of players of North African origin and North African club players.

Y did Mane come 2nd ahead of Aubameyang?? I don't understand this CAF at allllll mtcheeewww... wedding MC
Calm down, Oga.
It's not about shouting CAF.

National coaches and captains did the voting, and anything is positive in voting.

When voting is involved, even the worst player can win an award. All he needs to do is have a large fanbase and plenty friends.

That is probably how Mane finished second.

Not because he deserved it or because CAF did Ojoro.

Yes.. I know he did that. I was just trying to answer his question.

He scrapped it lately and many fans didn't count that.
