Malian midfielder Mamadou Sangaré has been crowned the 2026 Prix Marc-Vivien Foé winner, as Ligue 1’s outstanding African player.
The 23-year-old midfielder, who plays for Lens, is the first Malian to lift the award since it was established in 2009 in honour of Cameroon's Marc-Vivien Foé, who died in June 2003 after collapsing during a Confederations Cup match between Cameroon and Colombia in Lyon.
