While it might not have the glamour or spectacle of the World Cup, the Africa Cup of Nations is one of the biggest tournaments in football. Nations from across the continent will come together, going head-to-head as they battle to be crowned champions.
As a football fan, AFCON is one of my favourite tournaments around. Happening every two years, the cup is widely regarded as a blight for club teams, taking away top stars for six weeks midway through the season. To me, it's far more exciting than similar tournaments, though – with a genuine sense that just about anything can happen!
