The Africa Cup of Nations starts in Ivory Coast next Saturday. Also there: many football celebrities. Many of the 24 participating countries have players under contract in the top 5 leagues. Some of them at absolute top clubs.
The abundance of stars in North Africa is striking: Algeria has Ramy Bensebaini (BVB), Ismael Bennacer (AC Milan) and ex-city wing Riyad Mahrez (Al Ahli). Egypt is counting on Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and Mohamed Elneny (Arsenal). Morocco on World Cup hero Bono (Al Hilal), Achraf Hakimi (PSG), Noussair Mazraoui (Bayern) and Sofyan Amrabat (ManUtd). Only Tunisia is omitted – the most famous name there is Ellyes Skhiri (Frankfurt).
The favorites include defending champion Senegal, with Edouard Mendy (Al Ahli, ex-Chelsea), Kalidou Koulibaly (Al Hilal, ex-Napoli), Pape Sarr (Tottenham), Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea), Sadio Mané (Al Nassr) and Ismali Sarr (Marseille) arrives. And Nigeria, which has a top offensive around Victor Osimhen (Napoli), Samuel Chukwueze (AC Milan) and Ademola Lookman (Atalanta). Bitterly for the Super Eagles, Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface was injured shortly before the start.
Host country Ivory Coast, which has Evans Ndicka (Roma) and Sebastien Haller (BVB) in its ranks, should also not be underestimated. The same goes for Ghana (Mohammed Kudus, West Ham; Inaki Williams, Bilbao), Cameroon (Andre Onana, Man Utd; Frank Zambo-Anguissa, Napoli) and Mali (Yves Bissouma, Tottenham; Amadou Haidara, Leipzig).
Even alleged outsiders such as Burkina Faso (Edmond Tapsoba, Leverkusen), Guinea (Serhou Guirassy, Stuttgart) and even Mozambique (Reinildo, Atlético) can count on well-known players. The best football entertainment is guaranteed! (sbe)
