Taking a closer look at the list of qualified countries, we find that a total of 12 former AFCON champions, including Nigeria, which has clinched the title three times, will be gracing the event in January 2024.

Among these, the host nation, Cote d’Ivoire, will lead a formidable contingent from West Africa, featuring 11 countries, including the reigning champions, Senegal, as well as Nigeria, Ghana, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and others.

East Africa will be represented by Tanzania, making a return to the finals after a commendable performance in the qualifiers.

The North African nations will see participation from Egypt, boasting seven-time championship wins, alongside World Cup semi-finalists Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria.

Egypt will be striving for an eighth title, aiming to build on their strong performances in the 2017 and 2021 finals.
