The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations has officially started.
Twenty-four of Africa’s top teams are competing, but only one will emerge as the champion.
After two matchdays, here are the standout stories from this premier soccer tournament:
Mohamed Salah Scores Again
Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah has made a significant impact, scoring game-winning goals in both of his matches so far at AFCON 2025.
Salah played in Egypt’s key Matchday 2 game against South Africa, the first AFCON fixture with teams that will appear in the 2026 World Cup. He secured a crucial penalty kick in the 45th minute, helping Egypt win the match. While many felt the penalty was questionable, Salah confidently converted it and even admitted to South Africa’s coach, Hugo Broos, that he thought it might have been a soft call.
