Former Ivorian footballer Yaya Toure stands on the stage next to the trophy during the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) 2024 official draw at Parc des Expositions in Abidjan, southeastern Ivory Coast.
Ivory Coast football legend Yaya Toure has left out Ghana from his list of favourite countries likely to win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The continent’s most prestigious tournament gets underway in less than two weeks, with Ghana hoping to end its 41-year trophy drought.
However, the former Manchester City midfielder believes his country, Morocco, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, and South Africa are the favourites for the tournament.
“It’s normal to have a preference for your own country,” Toure, who won the AFCON in 2015, is quoted as saying by Afrique Sports.
