Once every two years, Europe’s biggest teams have to resist several games without some of their best, strongest and well-paid African footballers, because most of them are on international duty, representing their countries in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON).

One might ask: What is AFCON and why is it so attractive to watch?

Here are some reasons.

Not even Mou or Pep could prepare for such a majestic corner kick.

 

  1. Exemplary Fair-Play

Those #respect commercials are finally paying off. On and off the pitch. Just watch.

 

  1. Dedicated and surprising fans

Thousands of synchronized dancers, painted faces, painted bodies, masks, feathers and lots of vuvuzelas. Just the usual props for any cheerful fans.

 

  1. Original goal celebrations

Some of the goal celebrations can rival even with the famous Finnish fotballers.

 

  1. Surprising and fantastic goals

AFCON doesn’t lack quality, though.  Just look at these magnificent goals.
