Written by on January 20, 2022

The Africa Cup of Nations is officially underway as 24 countries aim for continental supremacy. Algeria are the reigning champs, led by Riyad Mahrez of Manchester City, while Senegal, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Morocco all look like contenders. Six groups will see two teams from each advance to the round of 16, while the four best third-place teams also move on.

Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Guinea, Morocco, Gabon, Nigeria, Egypt, Ivory Coast and Equatorial Guinea have already qualified for the round of 16. Ghana, however, were bounced from the competition on Tuesday, suffering a surprising 3-2 loss vs. Comoros. Defending champions Algeria were also knocked out during the group stage as they suffered a 3-1 loss vs. Ivory Coast on Thursday.
