Fenerbahçe faces the threat of the Africa Cup of Nations!

The Africa Cup of Nations, set to begin on January 13, 2024, will conclude on February 11, 2024. Fenerbahçe will lose two star players to the tournament, which will be hosted by Ivory Coast.

Due to the climate conditions of the Africa Cup of Nations, being held in the middle of the season is putting many clubs in a difficult situation. This time, the tournament will take place in Ivory Coast from January 13 to February 11, 2024.

2 players from Fenerbahçe

Fenerbahçe will send two key players from the starting lineup to the Africa Cup of Nations: Alexander Djiku and Bright Osayi-Samuel. Osayi Samuel will compete with the Nigerian National Team in Group A against the host Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, and Guinea-Bissau.

If the Green-Yellows finish within the top 2 in the group, Osayi Samuel’s adventure will continue. Djiku’s Ghana, on the other hand, will play in Group B, where Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique are present. Fenerbahçe experienced defensive issues during the period of the successful defender’s injury.

Group stage from January 14-22

During Djiku’s absence for the tournament, Coach İsmail Kartal hopes for the return of Rodrigo Becao. The successful coach had expressed his expectation that the Brazilian player would start training in mid-January. Both Ghana and Nigeria’s group matches will take place between January 14 and 22. The final is scheduled for February 11.
