Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Ghizlane Chebbak has been named the 2025 African Women\u2019s Player of the Year, capping a season in which she emerged as the driving force behind Morocco\u2019s growing presence in the women\u2019s game. The award was announced at the CAF Awards ceremony in Rabat, where the midfielder received a standing ovation from a crowd keenly aware of her impact on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n

Chebbak\u2019s performances over the past year have solidified her reputation as one of the continent\u2019s most influential players. She led Morocco with authority and composure, delivering consistent displays that combined technical quality with an almost instinctive sense of leadership. Her contributions were central to the national team\u2019s competitive rise and to the sustained momentum of women\u2019s football in the country.<\/p>\n

This latest honour adds to her expanding list of achievements and places her firmly among Africa\u2019s elite. For Morocco, it represents another symbolic milestone, reinforcing the nation\u2019s rapid progress in the women\u2019s game and the growing visibility of its top talents.<\/p>\n

Chebbak\u2019s recognition reflects both her individual excellence and a broader shift in African women\u2019s football, which continues to gain ground in investment, support and international attention. Her award is likely to serve as further motivation as she prepares for the challenges ahead, carrying the hopes of a country that continues to embrace her as one of its leading figures.<\/p>\n
