Playing at the highest level of National team football is every professional football player’s dream, a status which the African Cup of Nations and other Continental competitions have, just right behind the FIFA World Cup. For every player born or eligible for an African team, playing at the AFCON is an achievement of the sort. Since the inaugural edition of the competition which saw three teams participate in it, the competition has grown in leaps and bounds with the number of participating teams rising. In 2019, the competition for the first time sees a record number of 24 teams participating and as expected three new countries have registered their names on the attendance sheet for the biggest football fiesta in Africa. Madagascar, Burundi and Mauritania join thirty-nine others who have featured at the AFCON having qualified for the first time in their histories, however, with the 24-team format more teams are expected to debut at the competition in subsequent edition but until then, here are the teams that have never played at the AFCON Central African Republic https://i2.wp.com/www.nationallightngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Seychelles-national-team.jpg?resize=560%2C416&ssl=1 Ranking: 112 Nickname: Les Fauves Head coach : Vacant Captain : Joeffery Kondogbia Home Ground: Barthélémy Boganda Stadium Chad https://i1.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/b7b52d529ef22943bef3b4d671deb071.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 Ranking: 174 Nickname: Les Sao Head Coach: Moudou Kouta Captain : Ezechiel N’Douassel Home Ground: Stade National Comoros https://i1.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/images-11-2.jpeg?w=599&ssl=1 Ranking: 148 Nickname: Les Coelacantes Head Coach: Amir Abdou Captain: Nadjim Abdou Home Ground: Stade Said Mohamed Cheikh Djibouti https://img.fifa.com/image/upload/t_l4/sgvqxixvbj8akbkq7w94.jpg Ranking: 195 Nickname: Shoremen of The Red Sea Head Coach: Julien Mette Captain: Ahmed Daher Home Ground: Stade du Ville Eritrea https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/8019/production/_86139723_eritreans.jpg Ranking: 202 Nickname: Red Sea Camels Head coach: Alemseged Efrem Captain: Henok Goitom Home Ground: Cicero Stadium Eswatini https://www.cafonline.com/portals/0/LinkDev.ImagesGallery/1033/d055de22-1a72-416f-9037-75e82b0796e1.jpg Ranking: 141 Nickname: King shield Head coach : Kosta papic Captain : Siyanbonga Mduli Home Ground : Somhlolo National Stadium Gambia https://i0.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/images-28-2.jpeg?w=756&ssl=1 Ranking: 161 Nickname: The Scorpion Head coach: Tom Saintfiet Captain: Pa Modou Jagne Home Ground : Independence Stadium Lesotho https://i2.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/images-29-1.jpeg?w=678&ssl=1 Ranking: 145 Nickname: Likuena (Crocodile) Head coach: Moses Maliehe Captain : Samuel Setono Kh’etsekile Home Ground: Setsoto Stadium São Tomé and Príncipe https://statics.sportskeeda.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/tome-1420475536.jpg Ranking:. 185 Nickname: The Falcons and True Parrots Head coach: Gustave Clément Nyoumba Captain: Luis Leal Home Ground: Estádio Nacional 12 de Julho Seychelles https://i2.wp.com/www.nationallightngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Seychelles-national-team.jpg?resize=560%2C416&ssl=1 Ranking: 194 Nickname: Pirates Head coach: Gavin Jeanne Captain : Jone jaubert Home Ground: Stade Linité Somalia https://i0.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/images-31-1.jpeg?w=640&ssl=1 Ranking: 202 Nickname: Ocean Stars Head coach: Bashir Hayford Captain: Hassan Ali Roble “Babay Home Ground: Mogadishu National Stadium South Sudan https://i1.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/images-12-2.jpeg?w=480&ssl=1 Ranking: 168 Nickname: Bright Stars Head Coach: Ramsey Sebit (Caretaker) Captain : Jumma Genaro Home Ground: Juba National Stadium Source:https://cheapgoals.com/the-teams-that-have-never-played-at-the-afcon/ 9 Likes |
