Former Cote d’Ivoire captain, Yaya Toure has picked his favourites for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The former Manchester City midfielder snubbed three-time champions Nigeria and picked his country, Senegal, Morocco, Guinea-Bissau and South Africa as his favourites for the title.

“It is normal to have a preference for your own country. Ivory Coast has a strong team and many talented and experienced players,” Toure was quoted by wiwsport.com.

“But if I had to choose teams that I think are favourites, I would say Senegal, Morocco, Guinea-Bissau, South Africa. Their performance during qualifying was impressive.”
