<![CDATA[Confederation of African Football (CAF) has released the list of names of players for Player of the Year award and it includes Ghanaian football stars-Asamoah Gyan and Kwadwo Asamoah. The two Black Star players who have been instrumental this year in the team’s numerous success join 23 players from other African countries to compete for this year’s Best African Player.
