Pyramids FC goalkeeper Ahmed El Shenawy expressed his disappointment at not receiving the Best Goalkeeper in Africa award at the CAF Awards 2025, stating he had hoped to win the title this year.
El Shenawy questioned the criteria for evaluating and selecting winners for these awards, noting that his club had achieved all titles this season. He added that this situation would serve as an additional motivation for him to work harder in the upcoming season.
Moroccan Yassine Bounou, Al Hilal's goalkeeper, ultimately claimed the award. El Shenawy had been among the nominees before being excluded from the final shortlist, a decision he views as an incentive to perform at his best in the future.
