The stars of soccer have gathered in the Ivory Coast for the 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). 24 teams from the continent will compete across five cities in 52 games to find one winner, in a football festival kicking off on Saturday 13th January on beIN SPORTS. 

The pressure to deliver a victory falls heavily on the host nation of Ivory Coast. The Elephants are looking to win the tournament for the first time since 2015, but face fierce competition. Morocco start the tournament as firm favorites after their historic run to the semifinals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. An Egypt side inspired by Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is looking to deliver an eighth AFCON title, while Senegal will be aiming for back-to-back tournament wins. Nigeria fans will hope that Victor Osimhen, arguably the best striker in the world, can drive the Super Eagles to a first AFCON crown in 11 years. 

BeIN SPORTS is offering unrivaled coverage of the Africa Cup of Nations with every minute of every match being broadcast live across the network. Our digital and social media channels will bring all the sights and sounds of a spectacular month in the Ivory Coast.  

The action gets underway on beIN SPORTS on Saturday 13th January at 2:50 PM ET with the opening game between Ivory Coast vs. Guinea Bissau and runs right through to the dramatic final on 11th February.
