FC Barcelona youth prospect Hamza Abdelkarim has been nominated for the CAF Young Player of the Year award, recognizing his breakthrough season with the Catalan club.
The 18-year-old forward, who featured in Barcelona's LaLiga match against Getafe on October 10, 2026, is among the finalists for the continental honor that celebrates Africa's most promising talents.
Abdelkarim, who joined Barcelona's academy from Morocco, has impressed with his technical ability and goal-scoring form for the youth sides, earning a first-team call-up earlier this season.
The CAF awards ceremony is scheduled for later this year, where the winner will be announced alongside the African Player of the Year.
