🇳🇬 🇩🇿 Excited to be in Marrakech for another Nigeria v Algeria AFCON clash. So much history shared between these two sides: 1980 Nigeria beat Algeria to lift their first AFCON 1990 Algeria get revenge in the final for their first 2019 That Mahrez free kick in the semi finals
Safe to say most of the Cameroon media guys are not impressed with Mr Beida so far...
🇨🇲 Great to see these Cameroon fans outside the teams hotel creating an atmosphere ahead of their clash with the hosts tonight!
Last time Cameroon came into an AFCON in a shambolic way was 2017 and they went on to win that. Great piece by Ali on this years team, have a feeling they may upset the host nation this evening...
Cameroon are a shambles. No league, two squads, questionable federation voting and the youngest team at the AFCON. And yet they are the most fearless and exhilarating team at the tournament. The reason? David Pagou open.substack.com/pub/alasdairho…
Ghanaian Interest: Eritrea's biggest loss in football came against the Black Stars during the qualifying round for the 2000 AFCON (co-hosted by Ghana and Nigeria). Ghana beat Eritrea 5-0, with Yaw Preko scoring four goals, at the Accra Sports Stadium in 1999. #AFCON

🌍🏝️ Did you know? The African Football Confederation, CAF, has 54 member states - but it briefly had a 55th: Zanzibar. Zanzibar was accepted in March 2017 only to have their membership rescinded 4 months later by then CAF president Ahmad Ahmad, who said it shouldn't have been…

Mpasi moved from Rodez (L2), where he was the star starting GK for several seasons, to Le Havre (L1) where he hasn't had much playing time at all. But you wouldn't know it by this match. The guy has been immense today.
hi everyone i wrote a substack piece on how the memeification of AFCON stems from racial biases towards African football, please read 🥹❤️ open.substack.com/pub/h4yati/p/t…

Watching all the footage from AFCON 1996 was one or the highlights of writing my book 🇿🇦 Every Bafana Bafana game had an electric atmosphere and I fell in love with 'Shoes', such a wonderful player to watch during that historic tournament!
Only goal in the group stages was an own goal and then Aamir Abdallah pulls that out! Great to see Sudan going for it against Senegal early on 🇸🇩
Angola paid $10 million to the Argentina FA to organize a high-profile international friendly. 🚨🇦🇴 However, after that investment, the Palancas Negras went on to exit AFCON at the group stage in a group that included Egypt, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Some leaders say that they…
