From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations was an international football tournament held in Morocco from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026. The 24 participating national teams were required to register a squad with a maximum 28 players.[1]
The age listed for each player is on 21 December 2025, the first day of the tournament. The numbers of caps and goals listed for each player do not include any matches played after the start of the tournament. The club listed is the club for which the player last played a competitive match before the tournament.[a] The nationality for each club reflects the national association (not the league) to which the club is affiliated. A flag is included for coaches who are of a different nationality than their own national team.
