Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has confirmed that the Nigerian state is prepared to host the 2026 CAF Awards ceremony. This comes after a five-member team from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) inspected the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, the primary venue for the event. The team, led by Dr Christian Emeruwa, comprises experts in technology, travel, transport, and branding.
Sanwo-Olu emphasized the state's commitment to ensuring the event's success by thoroughly preparing every detail. Nigeria has previously hosted the CAF Awards four times, with Lagos last organizing the event in January 2015. The primary event for African football's top players and performers will take place in Lagos on November 21, 2026, while Abuja will host the CAF General Assembly on the same date.
