The African Nations Cup, despite its historical significance and the global impact of its players like Thomas N'Kono and George Weah, remains under-watched compared to European and South American tournaments. While African nations like Morocco achieve success in the World Cup and export numerous elite footballers to Europe, the tournament is sometimes perceived as a minor event. This perception may stem from European biases or viewing it as disruptive to club leagues, as suggested by past comments from figures like Jurgen Klopp.
