CAF has moved its 2026 awards ceremony in Lagos to 2 December, five days earlier than the previously announced date of 7 December.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced the revised schedule in a statement on Tuesday. It did not give a reason for the change.
The venue remains the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, formerly the National Arts Theatre, in Lagos.
The awards will recognise performances in 18 categories, including men’s and women’s Player of the Year. Coaches, goalkeepers, emerging players, clubs and national teams are also among those to be honoured.
It will be the first time the awards return to Lagos since 2014. Nigeria’s hosting of the awards was announced earlier this year.
Voting for the men’s and women’s categories opened on 5 November and runs until 20 November.
