The 2018 African Nations Championship was an international football tournament held in Morocco from 13 January to 4 February 2018. Unlike the Africa Cup of Nations, this tournament requires players to be registered to a club within the country to be eligible. The 16 national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of 23 players, including three goalkeepers. Only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament. The squads were announced on 10 January 2018.[1][2]
