Egypt's Mohamed Salah, Senegal's Sadio Mane and Algeria's Riyad Mahrez made the three-man shortlist for the 2019 African Player of the Year.
The trio made significant contributions for both club and country in the year under review and a winner will be named at a ceremony in Egypt on January 7.
Salah is aiming for his third Caf award in a row while Mane is looking to claim the individual accolade for the first time after both players shared the Premier League Golden Boot alongside Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last season.
