Prix Marc-Vivien Foé : les 11 nominés dévoilés, le Sénégal en force, Hakimi absent
The 2026 Marc-Vivien Foé Award has unveiled its list of 11 finalists. Dominated by Senegal, this year's selection is also notable for the absence of the defending champion, Achraf Hakimi, and any Moroccan representative.
The list of finalists for the 2026 Marc-Vivien Foé Award has been announced. Revealed this Thursday by RFI and France 24, it highlights the best African players currently playing in the French Ligue 1.
Reigning champion Achraf Hakimi (Paris Saint-Germain) is not among the 11 nominees. This is a notable absence, especially since no Moroccan player was selected this year. Despite his recent performances with RC Strasbourg, Samir El Mourabet was not chosen. The same is true for LOSC Lille's Hamza Igamane, hampered by a serious injury after a strong start to the season.
Senegal stands out in particular with three representatives: Lamine Camara (AS Monaco), Bamba Dieng (FC Lorient) and Moussa Niakhaté (Olympique Lyonnais). They dominate this selection.
Behind them, several nations are equally represented: Ivory Coast with Guela Doué and Martial Godo (RC Strasbourg), Algeria with Ilan Kebbal (Paris FC) and Aïssa Mandi (LOSC Lille), as well as Burkina Faso led by Hervé Koffi (Angers SCO) and Arsène Kouassi (FC Lorient).
Gabon is represented by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Olympique de Marseille), a two-time winner in 2013 and 2024, who continues to shine at the highest level despite being 36 years old. Finally, Mamadou Sangaré (RC Lens) completes the list and will attempt to bring Mali its first Ballon d'Or. The winner will be announced on May 11.
