Cameroon\u2019s Andr\u00e9-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Andr\u00e9 Onana have been shortlisted for top honours as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) unveiled nominees for the 2025 African Football Awards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anguissa features in the Player of the Year (Men)<\/em> category after another commanding campaign with Napoli, while Onana is among the contenders for Goalkeeper of the Year<\/em> following a strong return to form at Turkish side Trabzonspor.<\/p>\n

Shockingly, Bryan Mbeumo who scored 20 Premier League goals last season for Brentford and earned a move to Manchester United plus scored four goals so far in Cameroon’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign has been left out.<\/p>\n

Anguissa among Africa\u2019s elite<\/h3>\n

Zambo Anguissa, 29, continues to shine for both club and country. The Cameroonian midfielder was instrumental as Napoli clinched the Serie A title last season \u2014 their second Scudetto in more than three decades. His tireless work rate, physical presence, and tactical intelligence have made him a cornerstone in midfield for both Napoli and the Indomitable Lions.<\/p>\n

He finds himself in a star-studded list for the Player of the Year (Men)<\/em> award, featuring some of Africa\u2019s brightest names:<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde9 Fiston Mayele<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddec Denis Bouanga<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddec Mohamed Salah<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\udde6 Achraf Hakimi<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\udde6 Oussama Lamloui<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\uddf3 Serhou Guirassy<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddec Victor Osimhen<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf3 Iliman Ndiaye<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf3 Pape Matar Sarr<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf2 Frank Anguissa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anguissa\u2019s inclusion is seen as recognition of both consistency and leadership. While forwards such as Osimhen, Salah and Bouanga have grabbed headlines for their goals, Anguissa\u2019s ability to dictate play and control midfield battles has earned him plaudits from fans and pundits alike.<\/p>\n

Onana\u2019s resurgence earns recognition<\/h3>\n

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Andr\u00e9 Onana\u2019s renaissance in Turkey has not gone unnoticed. After a difficult spell in England with Manchester United, the Cameroonian shot-stopper rediscovered his confidence and sharpness at Trabzonspor, where his performances have been key to the club\u2019s domestic resurgence.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old is among ten nominees for Goalkeeper of the Year (Men)<\/em>, a list that highlights the continent\u2019s depth in quality between the posts:<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf2 Andre Onana<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddfb Vozinha<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddec Ahmed El Shenawy<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\udde6 Munir Mohamedi<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\udde6 Yassine Bounou<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddec Stanley Nwabali<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf3 Edouard Mendy<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf3 Marc Diouf<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddff\ud83c\udde6 Ronwen Williams<\/strong>
\n\ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\uddf3 Aymen Dahmen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Onana\u2019s nomination marks a personal comeback story \u2014 from international retirement after the 2022 World Cup fallout to reclaiming his place as Cameroon\u2019s No. 1 and re-establishing himself as one of Africa\u2019s top goalkeepers.<\/p>\n

Cameroon\u2019s legacy lives on<\/h3>\n

Cameroon\u2019s dual presence in these elite categories reaffirms the nation\u2019s longstanding footballing tradition. The country has produced some of Africa\u2019s greatest names \u2014 from Thomas Nkono to Samuel Eto\u2019o \u2014 and continues to feature prominently in continental discussions of excellence.<\/p>\n

With both Anguissa and Onana vying for honours, Cameroonian fans will be watching closely when CAF holds its 2025 Awards ceremony later this year in Marrakech, Morocco.<\/p>\n

Should either player triumph, it would be Cameroon\u2019s first individual CAF Award since Eto\u2019o\u2019s last victory in 2010 \u2014 a potential symbol of a new era for the Indomitable Lions.<\/p>\n
