Our presentation continues with Group E of CAN 2025, where Algeria will seek to redeem itself after its recent failures, under the threat of an ambitious Burkina Faso, without forgetting Sudan and Equatorial Guinea.
A revengeful Algeria
Eliminated in the first round during the last two editions, the Fennecs have a serious dispute to settle with the CAN. It’s simple: since the coronation of 2019, the Algerians have not recorded the slightest success in the African tournament. The teammates of a Riyad Mahrezwho will play his last CANwill arrive at Morocco with great humility, but not without ambition. With a workforce regenerated by young and technical profiles like Hadj Moussa or even Mena true revelation in Bundesliga, Vladimir Petkovic and his troop will have arguments to put forward, provided they get off to a good start against the Sudana meeting which could already determine the rest of the course of the Greens.
Ambitious Burkina Faso
Accustomed to places of honor, the Stallions disappointed during the last CAN with a premature elimination in the round of 16 against Mali. THE Burkinabes remain especially marked by their non-qualification for World Cup 2026despite an honorable campaign (2nd behind Egypt). It is therefore with a vengeful spirit that the players of Brama Traore will enter the competition. They will be able to rely on the solidity ofHervé Koffithe guardian of SCOauthor of a brilliant season, the reliability of the defender Edmond Tapsoba or the experience of the inevitable Bertrand Traoré. One thing is certain: the Stallions will need to be monitored very closely. They will open the ball facing the Equatorial Guineaa particularly eye-catching team.
Equatorial Guinea spoilsport
And at Equatorial Guinea participated in only five CANon the other hand, she always managed to avoid the trap of the first round. At Moroccothe National Nzalang will try to extend this great series and why not repeat the feat of 2015, which saw the Equatorial Guineans reach the last square. Despite a complicated group on paper, the selection will once again be able to count on Emilio Nsueoffensive reference and natural leader, but also young people to watch closely, like Loren Zunigamember of Castilla du Real Madrid. The players of Juan Micha Obiang will be able to measure their potential from their first match against an ambitious team from Burkina Faso.
Sudan wants to settle
Victorious of the CAN in 1970, the Sudan has since gone through many crises that have affected the selection results. Back to the CAN 2021 after a long period of scarcity, the Crocodiles you Nile had missed the last edition in Ivory Coast. In a group where they look like little thumbs, the Sudanese will bravely play their luck with the firm intention of shaking up the hierarchy. A large part of the players summoned for the tournament play in Sudanparticularly to Al Hilal et Al Merrikhtwo heavyweights in the local championship, forced to play their matches at the Rwanda this season due to a difficult political context. One thing is certain: the men of James Kwesi Appiah will not move as expiatory victims, their first adversary, theAlgeriahas already been warned.
