2014 AFRICAN FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR - CAF CUTS AWARDS LISTS TO FIVE

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has cut its nominees for its Player of the Year awards down to five.

Last month CAF announced an initial list of 25 names for its main 2014 African Player of the Year award.

Ivory Coast and Manchester City's Yaya Toure is in the running for fourth straight title.

There was also a provisional list of 20 names for the 2014 African Player of the Year for those based in Africa.

The late South Africa goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa is among the final five for that award.

The winners of the two categories will be decided by votes from the head coaches or technical directors of the national football associations affiliated to CAF.
