MARRAKECH, Morocco — Nigeria winger Ademola Lookman and Zambia striker Barbra Banda won the men’s and women’s African player of the year awards on Monday night. Lookman, who plays for Atalanta, won after leading his Italian club to a Europa League victory in May, scoring all three goals in the first hat trick in a men’s European club final since 1975.

Banda overcame competition from Asisat Oshoala, a Nigerian striker who plays for the California-based Bay FC and has won the women’s award six times since 2014.
