Ballon d’Or africain 2025 : Emerse Faé réagit à l’absence de Franck Kessié
The list of ten finalists for the 2025 African Footballer of the Year award was recently released. Among the names announced, Franck Kessié , captain of the Ivory Coast national team, is absent. This omission prompted a reaction from the national team coach, Emerse Faé .
“Since the match against Senegal, Kessié has been the perfect captain for me, both on and off the field… His absence from this list is a real lack of respect towards him and towards Ivory Coast,” said Faé.
Franck Kessié had a remarkable season, with significant performances for both club and country. According to the national team coach, his absence from the 2025 African Player of the Year shortlist does not reflect his contributions on the pitch.
The absence of any Ivorian players from this final list raises questions about the recognition of the performances of national talents on the continental stage. Emerse Faé expressed his disagreement with this decision, emphasizing Kessié's importance to the national team.
