Mikel Obi, Victor Moses shortlisted for 2013 BBC African Footballer of the Year

Nigeria’s Super Eagles players John Mikel
Obi and Victor Moses have both been
shortlisted for the 2013 BBC African
Footballer of the Year award.
The five-man list which also includes Ivory
Coast’s Yaya Toure, Burkina Faso’s
Jonathan Pitroipa and Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang of Gabon was released today
November 12, 2013.
The winner will be decided by African
football fans, who will vote through the
web and SMS. Voting closes on November
25, 2013.
Obi and Moses have had a fantastic run
so far – both players were part of the 2013
squad which won African Cup of Nations
held in South Africa.
Last year, Zambia’s Christopher Katonga
won the award, beating Demba Ba, Didier
Drogba, Younes Belhanda and Yaya Toure
to become the first winner from southern
Africa in the history of the award.
