As the competition continues in earnest, there are teams whose performance have raised the bar already as we’ve witnessed in Cameroon.
Topsides like Senegal and Algeria have not really been convincing with their overall form in this AFCON. While other sides like Gabon, Burkina Faso have impressed at least to an extent.
But there are teams whose football is telling in our hearts that they could go all the way to clinching the much-coveted trophy.
Here we evaluate some of them as the showpiece continues to unfold in Cameroon.
Cameroon
The indomitable lions of Cameroon would be one of the favourites to win the AFCON later next month.
And with the way they’ve played so far expect them to go so far in this competition even as they are playing at home.
Nigeria
The Super Eagles have tasted revival after the takeover of Austin Eguavoen in the coaching helm.
And in the three wins on the bounce more with the win against Egypt, Nigeria cannot stop believing as they prepare for the next game in the Round of 16.
Morocco
The North Africans have been relatively impressive already at the moment.
And beating Ghana 1-0 in the AFCON opener would be the high point of their campaign this time around.
Not minding the absence of Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech in their party to the AFCON 2021 in Cameroon.
