A trophy created in honor of Pape Diouf

A little less than a week after the sudden death of Pape Diouf, the organizers of the African Football Night decided to create a trophy named after the former journalist, agent or even president of the OM. This award will be presented annually to a player who has marked the history of African football.

“The NFA Organizing Committee, in tribute to Pape Diouf, decides to baptize its special prize, awarded to all persons or entities that have marked the history of football with a particular performance:” Pape Diouf special prize for the Night of African Football “. This measure comes into effect as of edition 7 of La Nuit du Football Africain. “ A fine tribute to the native of Dakar who marked his time.
