With months remaining until the 2023 African Cup of Nations taking place in Ivory Coast from January to February 2024, several teams have done their best to qualify for the event. Others will be looking to book their tickets in the final round of the AFCON qualifiers. That will mean bringing together the most talented football players in the continent and competing for three weeks to take home the highly coveted trophy.

Here are the top players that Betway punters need to watch out for during the 2023 AFCON competition.

Daniel Bameyi – Nigeria

Nigeria is a football powerhouse and one of the best teams in the African Cup of Nations, with talented youngsters like Daniel Bameyi. Bameyi is a skilled 19-year-old defender who has continued to get more authority in Ladan Bosso’s team. The right-footed defender, also known as “The Major”, is popular for his maturity, aerial domination, and sense of anticipation.

While Bameyi continues getting ready to become a star, he’s fast, hard-hitting, and has good leaping ability. The 19-year-old is also working on his distribution, hoping to improve further ahead of the AFCON 2023. Fortunately for punters, the Betway app download Tanzania will allow you to wager on Bameyi to score during the upcoming event.

Victor Osimhen – Nigeria

Serie A’s top marksman and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is among the most talked about strikers in Europe. His contribution to the Serie A has helped Napoli put a strong title challenge, while also scoring several goals in the Champions League. The Nigeria international has deadly efficiency when facing the goal, bringing fear to most of his opposing defenses in Europe.

Victor Osimhen’s goal-scoring ability has made him among the top African players and a number of international clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City are impressed. Osimhen is currently among the top goalscorers in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers and will be looking to help the Super Eagles walk away with the trophy.

Dango Outtara – Burkina Faso

Bournemouth’s winger Dango Outtara has been in the limelight since his match-winning assist against Liverpool earlier in March. His assist helped his team to manage an improbable 1-0 victory, despite battling relegation. The Burkina Faso international will also be helping his nation in reaching the 2023 AFCON finals next year.

Outtara is a left-footed pacy winger who runs like Robertson and Van Dijk ragged in an eye-catching EPL performance. The winger hasn’t recorded many goals with Bournemouth, but he scored six goals after 18 Ligue 1 appearances. As such, his skills will come in handy as Burkina Faso hopes to make it to the finals next year.

Mohamed Salah – Egypt

While many soccer fans have questioned Mohamed Salah’s form this year, the Egyptian King has still recorded 12 assists and 12 goals in all competitions. Salah is also Liverpool’s top-scorer in the EPL, after scoring his 129th goal for the team. The Egyptian star finished with eight goals in the UEFA champions league before Liverpool was booted at the round of 16.

Sadio Mane – Senegal

Sadio Mane has been going through a difficult season in Bayern Munich after suffering from an injury ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. The injury kept him away from Senegal’s World Cup campaign and they exited the competition at the round of 16 after their devastating 3-0 loss to England. Senegal has already qualified for the 2023 AFCON and Mane will be a powerful tool on their roster.
