Ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations kicking off in the Ivory Coast in January 2024, we take a look at which Premier League players could be set to represent their countries at the tournament.

The Africa Cup of Nations takes place every two years, with the latest edition of the tournament to be hosted in Ivory Coast between 13th January and 11th February 2024.

The last AFCON, held in Cameroon in 2021, was won by Senegal, with Sadio Mane overcoming former Liverpool teammate Mo Salah in the final with the Lions of Teranga prevailing on penalties.

Taking place during the European domestic season, AFCON always wreaks havoc upon teams with strong African contingents who are forced to make do without players for up to four fixtures.

22 out of 24 AFCON participants have been confirmed, with the final two nations to be determined following the culmination of qualifying Group C, with Namibia, Cameroon and Burundi all still in with a chance of securing the remaining berths.

AFCON qualified teams

The following 22 teams have qualified for a place at the latest AFCON in Ivory Coast:

Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Egypt, Guinea, Ghana, Angola, Algeria, Tanzania, Mali, Gambia, Zambia, DR Congo, Mauritania, Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea, South Africa, Morocco, Senegal, Mozambique.

Namibia, Cameroon and Burundi will battle it out for the remaining two places in Group C qualifying.
