Continental competition set to kick-off under COVID-19 cloud
Africa’s showpiece Cup of Nations kicks off in Cameroon on Sunday against a backdrop of controversy over player call-ups, the tournament’s timing, the host nation’s readiness and the possibility of widespread COVID-19 infections.
Yet what is not clear is who is likely to be crowned the continental champion after the final on Feb. 6, as a multitude of prospective winners make it likely that the tournament will maintain its tradition for rarely delivering on the form book.
Algeria goes into the tournament with a lengthy unbeaten run, including the triumph at the last edition in Egypt in 2019.
