The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) generated a record 2.2 billion viewers worldwide, indicating the growing popularity of African football. Factors contributing to this success include the quality of football played and the popularity of Afrobeat music. The success of the AFCON should be used as an opportunity to plow revenue back into African football and support the development of the game across the continent, including smaller countries.

There is a need for investment in local leagues and academies to develop African talent and retain players on the continent. This will require better infrastructure, marketing, and revenue structures.
