Lookman continued his fine form at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d'Ivoire, where he emerged as one of Nigeria's top players. He scored two crucial goals, but the Super Eagles ultimately finished as runners-up behind the host nation.

The men's Ballon d'Or category features an impressive lineup of nominees, including Jude Bellingham, Vini Junior, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappe. Other notable contenders include Yamine Lamal, Toni Kroos, Phil Foden, and Rodri.
