TUNISIA
Just like South Africa, Tunisia have only one AFCON title to their name, with their sole continental triumph coming in 2004 under the guidance of Roger Lemerre, who also won the 1998 FIFA World Cup with France as their assistant coach. One of United's breakout stars this season, Hannibal Mejbri, is one of the notable inclusions to look out for, while Anis Ben Slimane of Sheffield United, Ellyes Joris Skhiri of Eintracht Frankfurt, and Percy Tau's Al Ahly teammate Ali Maaloul will provide a formidable supporting cast for the Lions of Carthage.
