I’m disappointed because I had an amazing season— Boniface reacts to CAF awards exclusion
Nigerian striker, Victor Boniface, expressed disappointment at being excluded from the shortlist for the Confederation of African Football Men’s Player of the Year award.
Speaking about the snub in a video posted on Sunday by sports journalist, Pooja, via X, Boniface, who had a stellar 2023/2024 season, said, “Not sad, but disappointed because I had an amazing season last season, so for me not to be there… maybe the award is for African players in AFCON, I don’t know. But in general, if it’s for African Player of the Year, I think I had a great season.”
He added that while awards are not his priority, he remains focused on improving his performance.
“I don’t need to prove to anybody; I don’t really care about awards and stuff. But of course, as a football player, I want to improve, I want to do more for myself,” he said.
