Sokari Secures Coveted Player of the Month Accolade at CS Sfaxien

In a ceremony marked by elegance and appreciation, former Super Eagles midfielder Kingsley Sokari basked in the glow of success as Club Sportif Sfaxien bestowed upon him the prestigious Player of the Month award for November, according to reports from Completesportsnigeria.com.

The recognition unfolded in a brief ceremony post-Wednesday’s rigorous training session, with the esteemed Club President, Moncef Khemakhem, personally presenting Sokari with a framed portrait adorned with the inscription: PLAYER OF THE MONTH #NOVEMBER2017. The accolade, a testament to Sokari’s stellar performances, underscores his pivotal role in propelling CS Sfaxien to the quarter-final stage of both the domestic league competition and the CAF Confederation Cup.

Sokari, a former dynamo of Enyimba of Aba, garnered widespread applause for his exceptional form throughout November, a month during which CS Sfaxien secured a triumphant hat trick of victories against Ben Guerdane (November 22), Metlaoui (November 26), and CA Bizertin (November 30). The 22-year-old athlete further solidified his claim to the award by clinching the Man of The Match title in three out of the four games played by Sfaxien.

Reflecting on the momentous occasion, Sokari expressed his elation, stating, “I was very happy and elated.” He went on to highlight the historical significance of his achievement, revealing, “I have been told it is the first time a black player is winning the Player of the Month award in the history of the club, and this makes it a bit more special.”

The talented midfielder extended his gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support and recognition of his contributions to the club’s success. He also acknowledged the pivotal role played by his teammates, emphasizing the motivational impact of the award on his commitment to helping the team secure the coveted title.

Sokari, who joined Sfaxien in December 2015, has consistently clinched individual honors, including the title of the best foreign player in the league during the 2016/2017 season. However, the Player of the Month award for November stands out as a distinctive milestone in Sokari’s illustrious journey with CS Sfaxien.
