"Manchester City" club and Ivory Coast national team midfielder Yaya Toure was named the best African footballer of the year for the second consecutive year. According to the decision of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Yaya Toure was chosen as the best footballer because the 29-year-old midfielder had an excellent 2011/12 season, contributing significantly to City's triumph in England. "I am very happy to receive this award. I think this day will be special for me," said the best African footballer. In the second place in the African Footballer of the Year rankings was Didier Drogba, who moved to China this summer after helping London's Chelsea win the UEFA Champions League last season. In the honorable third place is Alex Song, who moved to Barcelona this summer and helped the Catalan team build a solid lead over their closest opponents in the Spanish La Liga this season.
