CAF Award: Confederation Cup May Give It to Eto (30.04.2004)
Vanguard (Lagos)
The performances of Cameroun striker Samuel Eto`o in last year`s Confederations Cup tournament in France are expected to be enough to see him named as the 2003 African Footballer of the Year.
The Spanish-based forward is one of three candidates for the award to be handed over as the highpoint of Friday`s African soccer awards in Yaounde, Cameroun.
Ivorian striker Didier Drogba and Nigerian captain Austin "Jay-Jay" Okocha are the other two finalists.
Eto`o, 23, scored a brilliant individual goal against Brazil in Paris and helped Cameroon to last June`s final of the eight-nation Confederations Cup tournament, which was overshadowed by the death of compatriot Marc-Vivien Foe.
During the tournament, he also rushed back to Spain to score twice in the King`s Cup final when his club Real Mallorca beat
RecreativoHuelva 3-0.
Drogba is being lauded for his goalscoring record in the French league last season, first for En Avant Guingamp and then at Olympique Marseille after his transfer in the off-season. The 26-year-old forward, whose national team failed to reach the African Nations Cup finals, scored 17 goals last season for Guingamp and nine before the end of 2003 for Marseille.
Okocha, who plays in England for Bolton, is on for an honours double after winning player of the tournament at this year`s African Nations Cup. The vote in Yaounde is made by members of the Confederation of African Football`s media and technical committees and is one of 12 awards to be made at a gala ceremony.
Cameroun are also expected to win the team of the year award after their Confederations Cup performance where they lost 1-0 to a golden goal by France in the final.
