Nigerian football legend Nwankwo Kanu has picked his winner for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and surprisingly ignored the Super Eagles......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
AFCON 2025 is scheduled for December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, in Morocco, with CAF pushing it further by six months due to the weather in Africa in the summer.
The qualifying games for the tournament are ongoing, with each participating country expected to have played four games by the end of the October international window.
Kanu has courted controversy with his fellow Nigerians after overlooking the Super Eagles and AFCON 2023 winner Ivory Coast when naming the favourites to win the 2025 edition.
The two-time African Footballer of the Year picked the host country, the Atlas Lions of Morocco, as the favourite to win it on home soil.
“Morocco has always boasted great players playing in Europe, but this generation is unparalleled. Yassine Bounou, Achraf Hakimi… The technicality and talent of the entire squad give this team the status of a clear favourite for the upcoming AFCON,” he told Le Site Info.
“They always start the competition as favourites but then fail to realise the dream of millions of Moroccans. By organising the CAN at home, Morocco has every chance of being crowned champion for the second time in its history.”
According to CNN, they became the first African country to reach the World Cup semi-final in Qatar but failed to capitalise at AFCON 2023, crashing out in the round of 16.
