Morocco’s Ghizlane Chebbak Wins 2025 CAF Women’s Player of the Year

Morocco’s Ghizlane Chebbak has been crowned CAF Women’s Player of the Year for 2025, rewarding a phenomenal season for the 35-year-old forward.

The award was handed out on Wednesday, November 19, during the CAF Awards ceremony in Rabat, Morocco. Chebbak claimed the honour ahead of Nigeria’s Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade and fellow Moroccan Sanna Mssoudy.

Chebbak was a standout at the WAFCON tournament, clinching the Golden Boot with five goals and earning a place in the Team of the Tournament. Her impressive displays throughout the year also saw her named in the FIFA FIFPRO Women’s World 11.

Ajibade, despite missing out on the CAF accolade, captained the Super Falcons to a record-extending 10th WAFCON title, was named Player of the Tournament, featured in the Team of the Year, and completed a high-profile transfer to French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

Chebbak’s recognition underscores her consistent brilliance and her growing legacy in African women’s football.
