The 2024 African Cup of Nations (CAN) promises to be an exciting competition where the best teams from the African continent will compete to try to succeed Senegal, winners of the previous edition. The recent draw revealed the different groups and raised high expectations for the outcome of the competition.
Many serious contenders already stand out among the favorites to win the prestigious CAN trophy. At the top of the list, we find Senegal, defending champion and who achieved a remarkable performance at the last World Cup by reaching the round of 16. With a talented and dynamic team, the Lions of Téranga will certainly be a formidable opponent.
Egypt, seven-time CAN winner, is also one of the serious candidates. Despite a smooth qualifying campaign, the Pharaohs will certainly want to erase the disappointment of the final lost against Senegal in 2021 and add a new trophy to their list of achievements.
Morocco, semi-finalist of the last World Cup, and Algeria, recent African champion in 2019, are also teams to watch closely. With world-class players such as Achraf Hakimi and Riyad Mahrez, these two teams have the potential to create a surprise during the competition.
Other contenders include regulars such as Ivory Coast, Tunisia and Cameroon, all of whom have won the CAN trophy in the past. Nigeria, three-time African champions, and Ghana, who have four titles to their name, are also very competitive teams who could play an important role in the title race.
But CAN 2024 also has some surprises in store with the return of Angola and Mozambique, who have not participated in the competition for more than ten years. These teams will be keen to show their value and make a good impression against the favorites.
Overall, CAN 2024 promises to be a thrilling competition full of twists and turns. The teams will fight with determination to win the coveted trophy. Fans of African football can already look forward to the intensity of the upcoming matches and the extraordinary performances that are sure to take place on the pitch.
