Angélique Kidjo and Oualass to host CAF Awards 2025 in Rabat

The Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) is pleased to reveal the presenters for the prestigious CAF Awards 2025, which will take place on 19 November at the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in Rabat.

The ceremony will begin at 19h00 local time / 18h00 GMT.

For this edition, CAF has brought together a duo that perfectly reflects the artistic diversity and cultural reach of the continent: Angélique Kidjo and Oualass.

Kidjo, a towering figure on the global stage, has embodied African artistic excellence for more than three decades. With five Grammy Awards to her name, the Beninese icon is celebrated for blending world music with African rhythms and for her unmatched presence in international culture.

Her influence extends well beyond the stage. Named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential women, she serves as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and is a prominent advocate for women’s rights, education and the preservation of African cultural heritage.

Joining her is Oualas, the comedian, actor and showman whose rising popularity in Morocco and across Africa has made him one of the continent’s most recognisable entertainment personalities.

Known for his humour, improvisation and ability to connect with audiences of all ages, Oualass will add warmth, energy and flair to an evening dedicated to honouring the finest in African football.

Together, this complementary duo underscores CAF’s ambition to stage an Awards ceremony that celebrates not only sporting achievement but also the rich cultural talent of Africa.
