year's BBC African Footballer of the Year award.
In this year's search for the
continent's best football player, the BBC is hosting a live show to kick off
two weeks of voting where fans will decide who is the BBC African Footballer of
the Year 2016.
Hosted in the BBC Radio Theatre and
broadcast on BBC World News TV and BBC World Service radio, the BBC's Peter
Okwoche will be joined by a panel of experts including: Steven Piennar,
the former South African captain who plays for Sunderland; Tresor Lualu, former
DR Congo international; and Eniola Aluko, the Nigeria-born England
international who plays for Chelsea Ladies.
The show will unveil this year’s
shortlist and feature contributions from all four corners of the continent to
celebrate the impact Africa has made on world football, as well as hearing from
former winners of the award.
Football fans around the world can find out
