Introducing the African Legends Cup of Nations

On Thursday, Goal are delighted to launch the 2020 African Legends Cup of Nations, which will pit 32 greats of the African game against one another in a straight knockout tournament.

Our 32 participants have already been paired off for the First Round draw, with winners set to progress to the Round of 16.

After much debate and discussion in the office, the Goal Africa team have settled on a field of 32 that includes the top names of African football past and present.

Editors' Picks

While we couldn’t include all of the game’s greats, our shortlist includes players from the Cape to Cairo, and celebrates stars from the 1970s to the present day.
