Former Super Eagles star and current Enyimba coach George Finidi has named the teams he believes are the favorites to win the 2023 AFCON, which takes place in Côte d'Ivoire. "I believe the Senegal national team will defend their title, and I also name Morocco because of their recent performances.Each of them is exceptional, but you never know what can happen in the tournament.But these two teams are exceptional because of what they've shown recently.One of them is the defending champion and the other has excelled in the World Cup."
He went on to talk about other teams who can also, given the quality of their squads, hold their own in the debates."Nigeria cannot be excluded from the nominations either. There's also Côte d'Ivoire, Algeria and Cameroon. There are a lot of teams who can win the title, but for me, I think Morocco has a chance and Senegal too, but we'll see what happens at the start of the tournament," he repeats.
