AFCON To Expand To 28 Teams As CAF Unveils New Reforms

The Africa Cup of Nations is set to be expanded from 24 to 28 teams as part of major reforms announced by the Confederation of African Football. CAF president Patrice Motsepe confirmed the decision after an executive committee meeting in Cairo. Motsepe said the expansion aims to increase participation and competitiveness across the continent. He noted that more countries will now have a realistic chance of reaching the finals, giving fans and players in smaller nations a bigger stake in the tournament. The CAF president linked the changes to a broader restructuring of African football. Alongside the AFCON expansion, CAF plans to launch an African Nations League and adjust the international calendar to give national teams more meaningful games. Motsepe also promised regulation changes to rebuild trust in referees, VAR operators and judicial bodies. CAF has been under pressure after […]

Senegal Parade AFCON Trophy In France After Losing Title

Senegal have paraded the Africa Cup of Nations trophy at the Stade de France in Paris, even though the team have been stripped of their 2025 title. The event took place on Saturday before a friendly match against Peru, in front of thousands of Senegalese fans living in France. The Confederation of African Football had ruled earlier in March that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final after several players walked off the pitch in protest over a penalty decision against Morocco. CAF converted Senegal’s 1–0 extra time win into a 3–0 default victory for hosts Morocco and officially awarded them the trophy. Despite the ruling, the Senegalese Football Federation maintains that the team are still the true champions of Africa. The federation went ahead with the parade in Paris to honour the players and share the moment with supporters. Senegal have […]

Mbokazi shines despite Bafana loss to Egypt

South Africa’s Bafana Bafana suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Egypt on Friday in Agadir, but the match also highlighted the emergence of a new defensive leader in Mbekezeli Mbokazi, who delivered an assured performance against elite opposition. The decisive moment came from a controversial first-half penalty, converted by Mohamed Salah, despite Egypt being reduced to 10 men before the break. While the result went against South Africa, the 20-year-old Mbokazi stood out with a display marked by composure, discipline and tactical awareness. Deployed at left centre-back, Mbokazi had a demanding task. With Aubrey Modiba pushing forward at left-back, the responsibility fell on him to cover wide spaces and neutralise Salah, who frequently drifted inside from the right wing. The young defender responded with maturity, timing his challenges well and maintaining positional discipline throughout the contest. In the opening exchanges, […]

Super Eagles and the ‘curse’ of the white Naija jersey

Nigeria’s Super Eagles are once again under scrutiny as fans revive talk of a “curse” linked to the team’s white ‘Naija’ jersey. Since Nike introduced the bold white design with “Naija” emblazoned across the chest, several of the team’s most disappointing results have come while wearing it, turning the kit into a symbol of squandered chances in the eyes of many supporters.​ The current white strip, launched for the 2024–2025 cycle, features a predominantly white base, green hoops on the sleeves and shorts, and a striking “Naija” inscription in green across the front. It was meant to project confidence and national pride, but has instead become associated with limp displays, missed chances and dropped points in key qualifiers and friendlies.​ For a footballing nation as passionate as Nigeria, repeated misfortune in the same jersey naturally feeds superstition. Some fans now […]

Former Super Eagles midfielder and assistant coach, Sylvanus Okpala, has called on Nigeria’s national football team to approach the CAF 2026 World Cup playoffs with total determination, saying the journey may be tough but is far from impossible. Okpala, who won the 1980 AFCON as a player and the 2013 AFCON as assistant coach to the late Stephen Keshi, said in a chat with Sports Vanguard that he has always believed in fighting until the last minute, even when others lose hope. “Before the match against Benin Republic, many had written us off,” he said. “But my philosophy, as both a player and a coach, is never to give up until there is nothing left to fight for. Even during the 1980 AFCON camp, I was among many players fighting for a spot, and I gave everything until the end. […]

Kwesi Appiah: Replacing Asamoah Gyan Will Be a Tough Task for Ghana

Former Ghanaian striker Kwesi Appiah has admitted that finding a replacement for legendary forward Asamoah Gyan will not be easy for the Black Stars. Gyan, who officially retired in 2023, left a lasting legacy as Ghana’s all-time top scorer, and since his absence, the national team has struggled to find a consistent goal-scorer.Appiah, who played alongside Gyan during Ghana’s runner-up finish at AFCON 2015, spoke highly of his former teammate, describing him as an exceptional player and leader. According to Appiah, players like Mohammed Kudus and Antoine Semenyo have the potential to step up, but filling Gyan’s shoes will require consistency and leadership on the pitch.With the Black Stars shifting focus to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers after failing to make it to AFCON 2025, the team is hoping to rediscover its attacking prowess. Ghana will take on Chad […]
