In a stunning revelation, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has unveiled its official Best XI players from the group stages of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), with no player from Nigeria's Super Eagles making the cut.
According to report, the elite selection, credited to cafonline, features a blend of remarkable talents who have displayed exceptional skills and contributed immensely to their respective teams' performances in the tournament. However, the absence of any player from the three-time AFCON champions Nigeria is notably surprising.
Goalkeeper Jesus Owono from Equatorial Guinea earned his spot between the sticks after a series of impressive saves that have been crucial in his team's campaign. The defense is marshaled by Achraf Hakimi (Morocco), Kalidou Koulibaly (Senegal), Nayef Aguerd (Morocco), and Arthur Masuaku (DR Congo).
In midfield, Sofyan Amrabat's stellar performances for Morocco earned him a well-deserved place alongside Azeddine Ounahi and Lamine Camara. The attacking prowess is provided by Gelson Dala, Emilio Nsue, and Ismaïla Sarr who have lit up the tournament with their scintillating skills and goals.
As we advance into the knockout stages, anticipation builds. While nations represented in this prestigious lineup bask in glory, others like Nigeria will be looking to make amends and prove their mettle on Africa's grandest footballing stage.
