The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 is underway in Morocco, with 24 teams competing for continental glory. This 35th edition marks a historic shift as the tournament moves to a four-year cycle after back-to-back competitions in 2027 and 2028, ahead of the new African Nations League launching in 2029.
Defending champions Ivory Coast, who triumphed on home soil in early 2024 after sacking their manager, face a tough title defence. Morocco, 2022 World Cup semi-finalists, are favourites to win only their second AFCON title and first since 1976. Other contenders include Egypt with Mohamed Salah, Senegal led by Sadio Mane, Algeria with Riyad Mahrez, and Nigeria spearheaded by Victor Osimhen.
