The Final 23-man African Cup of Nations Squads for all 16 Teams
The final 23-man squads for the African Cup of Nations were handed in to the Confederation of African Football last Thursday, January 10th and are now public knowledge. There were one or two surprises. Sudan recalled 37-year-old goal machine Faisal Agab after leaving him off the preliminary roster. Guinea were forced to drop Kevin Constant after being unable to prove the French-born defender’s Guinean roots to FIFA in time, and Ghana got the all clear to include Quincy Owusu Abeyie, who had appeared for Holland’s Under-21 team but applied to switch nationalities. Complete 23-man-squads for every team at the competition are below.
