Moroccan goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou has been adjudged as the best men’s goalkeeper at the ongoing 2023 CAF awards in Morocco.
Bounou beat of competition from Manchester United and Cameroonian goalkeeper, Andre Onana and Al Ahly and Egyptian shot stopper Mohamed El Shenawy.
One of the reasons that Morocco made history at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar was as a result of acrobatic saves made by Yassine Bounou.
The shot-stopper was instrumental in the Atlas Lions’ historic semi-final achievement in Qatar and has been equally good for his club, Al Hilal.
Bounou also became the highest-ranked African goalkeeper in the history of the Ballon d’Or (13th place in 2023).
His impressive performance at the global stage has certainly earned him the right to be named the best men’s goalkeeper in Africa.
