After a beautiful opening ceremony, we all witness the beautiful victory of the hosting country against Guinee-Bissau 2:0.
After the first week of this tournament, we have seen a lot of young talented players and new countries to be monitored and count them as countries to reckon with for future AFCON competition.
24 teams for 52 matches in 5 cities in total is what we are expecting during this 34th edition.
A little story about AFCON for those who don’t know:
The Africa Cup of Nations, sometimes referred to as the Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations for sponsorship reasons, or simply AFCON or CAN, is the main international men’s association football competition in Africa. It is sanctioned by the Confederation of African Football and was first held in 1957.
