Nigeria will host the 2026 CAF Awards and the 48th Ordinary General Assembly after four consecutive runs in Morocco.
The CAF Awards are heading back to Nigeria after four straight years in Morocco.
Often described as the biggest night in African football, the “Oscars of African Football” will return to the Giant of Africa for the first time since 2017.
Nigeria has hosted the ceremony several times before – in Lagos in 2008 and 2013, and in Abuja in 2015 and 2017.
Now, nearly a decade later, the country is preparing to host both the 2026 CAF Awards and the 48th CAF Ordinary General Assembly.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved Nigeria’s bid following talks with CAF officials during the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, in May 2026.
