Six months late, the 33rd African Championship will kick off tonight in Cameroon.
The Algerian champions, led by Riyad Mahraz, will try to retain their title and win the title for the third time in its history, with other favorites being Egypt with Muhammad Salah, Senegal featuring Sadio Mana, Calido Coulibaly and Idrissa Gay, and host Cameron without big stars.
Despite the decision to postpone the onshore tournament by six months due to the Corona virus, he will still be a key player in the coming month as well.
Burkina Faso, which will open the tournament tonight (18:00) with a meeting with host Cameron, has been informed that five of its players have been found positive and will not be able to play.
After an inquiry it was discovered that the inspectors had not been sent by the organizers at all and that the inspections had not been carried out properly.

Captain Bertrand Traura was furious at this at a press conference, claiming it was a Cameroonian conspiracy and calling the incident a "scandal that must be investigated".
The Burkina Faso association has submitted a letter to the African association demanding that further tests be conducted for all members of the team.
In another game in the first house, Ethiopia will meet Cape Verde tonight (22:00).
