This annual recognition, presented by Radio France International and France 24, honors the best African player in Ligue 1.
The award serves as a tribute to the late Marc-Vivien Foé, a respected midfielder who tragically passed away during a match between Cameroon and Colombia in the Confederations Cup.
Aubameyang now joins the esteemed company of André Ayew and Chancel Mbemba as the third Marseille player to claim this prestigious title.

The 34-year-old played a crucial role in guiding Marseille to the Europa League semi-finals, while also scoring an impressive 14 goals in Ligue 1.
Aubameyang now has his sights set on the highly competitive UNFP Ligue 1 Player of the Season award. However, he faces stiff competition from Kylian Mbappé, who is seeking his fifth consecutive trophy in the category.
Aubameyang’s recognition as the best African player in Ligue 1 shows his exceptional talent and contribution to Marseille’s success this season.
The Prix Marc-Vivien Foé serves as a fitting honor for the player and a way to remember the legacy of Marc-Vivien Foé, whose memory lives on through this award.
