Gabon’s AFCON Hopes Hang on Mozambique Clash

Gabon’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign is already at a critical stage following their 1-0 loss to Cameroon in the opening match. With qualification hopes hanging in the balance, the Panthers face a must-win encounter against Mozambique in Agadir, a fixture that could determine whether they reach the knockout phase and extend Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s long and complicated AFCON journey. For Aubameyang, this tournament may represent one of the final chances to leave a lasting mark on Africa’s biggest football stage. Like many African greats before him who never lifted the trophy, the former African Footballer of the Year has endured a frustrating relationship with the competition. Comparisons with George Weah are often drawn, as both represented nations with limited continental pedigree, making AFCON glory an uphill task. Now competing in his sixth AFCON, Aubameyang’s history at the tournament has been […]

Chelle hints at tactical tweaks to Nigeria’s starting XI against Tunisia

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has suggested he may adjust Nigeria’s tactics and starting XI for Saturday night’s Africa Cup of Nations clash with Tunisia in Fez, Morocco. The Malian coach said he is weighing two different approaches for the high stakes Group C fixture at the Fez Stadium.​ Speaking at his pre match press conference on Friday, Chelle explained that he is considering a shift away from his usual possession based style. He said one option is to allow Tunisia more of the ball and then attack quickly in transition when Nigeria wins possession.​ Chelle added that his other option is to stick with the team’s current philosophy but make some tweaks to better handle Tunisia’s strengths. He declined to reveal his starting XI, saying fans would see his final selection when the game kicks off.​ Nigeria go […]

AFCON 2025 Nacional hero Osinachi backs Super Eagles for title

FIFA U 17 World Cup winner Christian Ebere Osinachi has backed the Super Eagles to win their fourth Africa Cup of Nations title at AFCON 2025 in Morocco. The 27 year old forward recently became a hero for Uruguay’s Club Nacional after scoring a 114th minute winner to secure the club’s 50th league title against rivals Atlético Peñarol.​ Nigeria have won AFCON three times in 1980, 1994 and 2013 and are chasing a first continental title in 12 years after finishing as runners up at the last edition in Cote d’Ivoire.

Cameroon, Algeria and Ivory Coast start AFCON strong

Cameroon opened their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Gabon in Agadir, putting behind them a turbulent build-up to the tournament. Karl Etta Eyong’s early strike proved decisive, while Algeria, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso also started their group-stage journeys with wins on Wednesday. The Indomitable Lions arrived at the competition amid confusion and controversy. After Belgian coach Marc Brys was dismissed in unclear circumstances, local coach David Pagou was appointed to lead the team. However, Brys publicly claimed he had not been formally informed of his removal and even announced his own squad for the tournament. Matters were further complicated when Pagou unveiled his selection, leaving out established stars such as André Onana, Vincent Aboubakar and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. The Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) eventually clarified the situation, but combined with the injury of […]

AFCON 2025 set for kickoff in Morocco

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Morocco today, bringing together 24 of the continent’s best teams in a tournament already marked by debate over its timing. The competition was originally planned for the summer but was moved to December and January, a switch that has angered many European clubs forced to release key African players mid season.​ Columnist Patrick Omorodion notes that the calendar change has revived long standing tensions between club and country whenever AFCON is staged during the European season. Despite the complaints, he argues that African football authorities must prioritise conditions that suit the continent’s climate and infrastructure rather than bowing completely to European interests.​ The expanded 24 team format means more countries now have the chance to play on the big stage, raising excitement among fans across Africa. However, it also increases pressure […]
