Africa Cup of Nations Winner Betting Odds
ExpandIn recent years, the Africa Cup of Nations has been heavily overlooked, both by neutral fans and the media. Lately, we have also seen the competition being discredited by media personnel, and it doesn't sit right, considering how good the competition can be.
Many do not give AFCON the respect it deserves, even though it should sit among the Euros and the Copa America as one of the major international tournaments, and it is incredibly disrespectful not to class it as such.
Every two years, we see the best quality that Africa has to offer (and there is a lot of it), allowing underdogs to shine and perform, while it also gives some of the continent's best a chance to enhance their legacy, nationally, continentally and beyond.
