Super Eagles assistant coach, Finidi George has identified Senegal and Morocco as the two top favourites to win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
According to George, both teams have been remarkable in recent months.
He also identified Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Algeria and Cameroon as candidates for the AFCON crown.
“I believe that the Senegal national team will defend its title, and I also nominate Morocco due to its recent performance,” George told FilGoal.
“Each of them is exceptional, you can never know what may happen in the tournament, but these two teams are exceptional due to what they have shown recently.
“One of them is the defending champion and the other has excelled in the World Cup.”

“There are many teams that can win the title, but for me, I think that Morocco has a chance and Senegal as well.”
