Mali is still there. Present at all the African Cups of Nations since 2008, the Eagles rarely miss out and even played in two semi-finals in 2012 and 2013, winning the bronze medal each time. Quarter-finalist in 2023, Tom Saintfiet’s men hope to shine for this edition in Morocco, they who are not qualified for the World Cup next summer.

The player to watch: Lassine Sinayoko
The AJ Auxerre striker is indisputable in Ligue 1. Holder on the front of the Auxerre attack, Lassine Sinayoko is the main threat. Arriving at AJA at 18, the Malian international established himself to become a sure value in Yonne, with nearly 150 matches played since. He also has 25 caps with the Eagles, scoring seven goals.
