The Ivory Coast are the early favorites to repeat, but the likes of Senegal, Algeria, Ghana and Egypt are also strong bets with talented squads. What makes the tournament so electrifying is its unpredictability — the 30 previous tournaments have seen 14 different nations crowned champions.

With all the matches available on either beIN Sports or Univision Deportes, the drama and intensity of this tournament makes for can’t-miss viewing. Here are 10 stars of the tournament that could lead their respective sides to glory.
