The Marc-Vivien Foé prize awarded by France 24 and RFI to the best African player of Ligue 1 of the season. For the first time in its history, the Marc Vivien-Foé Prize rewards a defender.
Chancel Mbemba is both the second Marseillais to receive the award – André Ayew won it in the 2015 edition – and the second Congolese after Gaël Kakuta in 2021. He is ahead of Ivorian midfielder Seko Fofana (RC Lens) and Nigerian striker Terem Moffi (OGC Nice)
