former dutch international and star of ac milan Clarence Seedorf made it to africa as manager of Cameroon this year :cheer:

Good luck to the Penguins Of Madagascar.

if i'm correct (not sure tho) it might be first african Island to appear at africa cup :think:


Zimbabwe i can see making it, and that would be awesome, considering how far they have come :love:


also having some favouritism for Liberia, bc of their football president and icon George Weah

Well I hope that they (Madagascar) can make a big impact.

Meet Tut, the mascot of this years africa cup of nations

every bit of detail about this in the OP

some facts

Nigeria back at africa cup, after missing out of main stage the last 2 times (before that though they had become 3rd quite a few times, won the cup once, and also been runner up)


Tunisia is the most consistently active nation at africa cup, Always been there at main stage since them hosting it in 1994


Tanzania's first appearance was in 1980, they had failed to qualify every year until now


Madagascar had a few shock upsets last year in another african trophy, outing south africa with penalty's there in quarter finals, this is their debut at biggest african competition, they play a friendly en route for this against luxembourg today

Group D looks brutal. Poor Namibia.

Nigeria, Senegal and Tunisia can just walk to the quarterfinals basically.

I been betting on this

not to forget, Egypt also has a quite easy group and home crowd advantage + most successful africa cup nation

Very true, Egypt is going to be very tough. Especially if they have Salah in their team.

yes and their one reserve goalkeeper, El Sayed who is now 47 yrs old, he has won quite a few africa cups already, also many cups and league titles in egyptian competition (of course just egyptian competition but still they have a very experienced player in him, good for motivating the team, and to keep a good combo of experience and talented youth)

10 days now till this starts too :)

sorry for not keeping this up to date

but some highlights from this years africa cup so far

biggest sensation was Madagascar at their debut making the quarter finals, losing to Tunisia there


semi finalists are

Senegal vs Tunisia

Algeria vs Nigeria


some facts about these 4 countries

if senegal wins we have a new africa cup champion

if Algeria wins they win 29 years after their first title

if Tunisia wins they'll make their consistency even more successful with a second title

if Nigeria wins it would be their 4th title, and they would step up towards egypt into most successful africa cup country
