The most successful nation of the competition, Flying Eagles de Nigeria has won the title seven times, but will face a severe test from the group’s stages.

Egypt, a three -time champion, brings a formidable challenge with his experience.

South Africa, despite not having won the title, has previously reached the final and remains a competitive force.

Meanwhile, Morocco, winners of the 1997 edition, complete the quartet, promising football of high quality and fierce competition.
