FIFA highlighted the candidates for the award for the best goalkeeper in the world in 2022, including Moroccan international and Sevilla Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
The Federation responsible for world football had revealed a list of five goalkeepers, candidates for this award as a result of their performances during the past year, and “Bono” has all the chances of winning the award despite the fierce competition.
“FIFA” said in a report published on its official website on Wednesday: “The winner will be announced at a ceremony in early 2023, knowing that Edouard Mendy, goalkeeper of Chelsea and Senegal, won the award last year.”
They added, “Argentine Emiliano Martinez and Moroccan Yassin Bono are included in the short list that also includes Belgian Thibaut Courtois, whose heroics helped Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the Champions League final last May, and two prominent Brazilians, Alisson and Ederson.”
They continued, “Bounou was one of the heroes of Morocco’s pioneering march to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar, where he kept four clean sheets and saved two penalties in the round of 16 by winning the penalty shootout against Spain.”
This followed an impressive campaign in 2021/22 with Sevilla, where he was awarded the La Liga Zamora Award for the fewest goals conceded per game: just 24 in 31 games.
In addition to being the first Sevilla goalkeeper to win the Zamora Trophy, “Bono” also finished last season with the La Liga Player of the Year award.
The list included the Moroccan Yassine Bounou, the Spanish goalkeeper of Sevilla, the Belgian Thibaut Courtois, the Real Madrid goalkeeper, the Brazilian Ederson Morais, the Manchester City goalkeeper, the Argentine Emiliano Martinez, the English Aston Villa goalkeeper, and the Brazilian Alisson Becker, the Liverpool goalkeeper.
