AFCON 2023 Golden Boot: Top goalscorers at Africa Cup of Nations in 2024
The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations began on January 13, 2024, in the Ivory Coast with 24 national teams ready to push hard for continental glory.
Defending champions Senegal are on the list of favourites to retain their title alongside World Cup semifinalists Morocco and an exciting Nigeria team.
Alongside the race to be crowned as the kings of Africa, AFCON 2023 will also see some of the world's top strikers going head-to-head for the Golden Boot, with Mohamed Salah, Victor Osimhen and Sadio Mane battling it out for the award. Salah has since suffered an injury that is likely to put him out of the running.
