Asante’s role in Mazembe’s CAF Confederation Cup success, African Super Cup holders and the DR Congo championship were deemed weightier than Amartey’s English Premier League title winning feat with Leicester.
Ayew made the shortlist for his sterling form for Swansea which paved way for his club record transfer to West Ham United and the Black Stars qualification to the 2017 Nations Cup.
In other awards, Most Promising Star of the Year went to Sandra Owusu Ansah but she missed out on the Female Footballer of Year to Priscilla Adubea.
