With the first round of group stage games, there were few points in the books and the games were tight, as well as some disagreement over refereeing. Everything is perfectly prepared for the final two rounds of the group stage.
AFCON has not had a repeat winner or finalist since Egypt won at home in 2006 before claiming the 2008 tournament title in Ghana and the 2010 tournament in Angola, with Algeria and Senegal looking to counter the trend in February.
Algeria beat Senegal 1-0 in 2019, took victory in Egypt and became the seventh nation to win multiple AFCONs, after the Democratic Republic of the Congo (1968, 1974), Ivory Coast (1992, 2015), Nigeria (1980, 1994, 2013), Ghana (1963, 1965, 1978, 1982), Cameroon (1984, 1988, 2000, 2002, 2017) and Egypt (1957, 1959, 1986, 1998, 2006, 2008, 2010).
