The cream of African football

Afcon first XI
Goalkeeper - Boubacar Barry (Ivory Coast)
Many people would argue whether he deserves a place in the starting line-up ahead of some of the experienced goalkeepers but the youngster is a rare talent. He was not intimidated by the big names at the tournament and he has kept his cool.

2 - Bryce Moon (South Africa)
Though South Africa once again failed to go past the group stages, there is no doubt that the Ajax Cape Town right-back had a fantastic tournament. As South Africa builds for the future, he will remain an important member of the team.
