The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco saw several teams start their campaigns. Defending champions Ivory Coast began with a 1-0 victory over Mozambique, thanks to a goal from winger Amad Diallo in the Group F match. Also in Group F, Cameroon secured a 1-0 win against Gabon, with Karl Etta Eyong's early goal being the decider. In Group E, Algeria, led by captain Riyad Mahrez, had a dominant 3-0 victory over Sudan, with Mahrez scoring twice. Amidst the on-field action, AFCON organizers are allowing spectators free entry after matches begin to fill sparsely attended stadiums. This measure is intended to boost attendance as Morocco prepares to co-host the 2030 World Cup.
