Yaya Toure set to create new African record
The Confederation of African Football has shortlisted 37 players for the African Best Palyer Award 2015. Among the 37 are three players from the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon namely: Vincent Aboubakar, Stephane Mbia and Nicolas Nkoulou. Yaya Toure from Ivory Coast who is the current title holder of the Golden Ball 2014 is also in the race. If he is once again elected at the next CAF Awards ceremony, Yaya Toure will have five best African player award trophies and he will become the most successful footballer in the African continent above the famous Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o with four Golden Ball awards.
