Pics: Fans presenting MOTM awards might just be our favourite thing about the Africa Cup of Nations

The Premier League, NFL… literally every sports organisation should take a leaf out of the Africa Cup of Nation’s book when it comes to MOTM presentations

The big-wigs behind the AFCON have thought of a remarkable idea. Rather than the use the archaic tradition of getting a journalist or a sponsor hand the Man of the Match his award after the game, they’ve found an ingenious, new way to liven up the presentation.

They’ve started letting, what can only be described as “superfans” hand their country’s hero their post-game prize. The result has been a magnificent spectacle.

Check out some of the best of the best Africa Cup of Nations MOTM fan presentations below.

We didn’t think it was possible, but we’ve actually found not just one, but several Man of the Match award presentations that top Seamus Hickey’s infamous one which featured a rather memorable cameo from a falcon.
