The 2011 CAF Awards that honours achievers in African football from players, officials and administrators for the year under review will be held in Accra on Thursday night.
The city is already agog with excitement as it prepares to host the annual awards for the third time in six years.
In the build-up to the Awards Gala at the venue, the Banquet Hall, State House in Accra has witnessed massive transformation and conditioning to meet the demands of guests, and following the winning of the BBC Award by a Ghanaian player, 21-year-old Andre "Dede" Ayew, there's great anticipation that perhaps the same player, or someone else from the Ghana national team squad could win CAF's title.
Ahead of the main event, a delegation from by the Confederation of African Football, CAF, led by 2nd vice president, Almamy Kabele Camara arrived last Monday in Accra to team up with sponsors, Globacom, towards the organisation of a successful event.
The organisers are already teasing that guests will be left in awe on the day of the ceremony with a programme filled rich display of culture, acrobatics and musical performance.
Bobby Scott, Chief Executive of True Colours Events said: "We are working feverishly towards the plan. We are on course and will deliver a show that will last forever in the minds of the guests. We are promising a display of celebrating the finest of African football."
A number of Ghanaian and international artistes will headline the musical acts at the Awards Gala notable amongst them Kwabena Kwabena, a local hi-life musician and young songstress, Efya, both from Ghana.
Also billed to perform is Beninois Zeynab and South African duo, Gloria Bosman and Loyiso Bala.
Acrobatic tumbling group, ‘Troop Agile’ from Kenya will also be in attendance.
