Although they joined the tournament later than some North African teams, they quickly made their mark. Morocco won the AFCON title in 1976, making them the second North African team to do so.

They\u2019ve won the title three times: in 1992, 2015, and most recently as hosts in 2023. They also finished as runners-up twice, in 2006 and 2012. Given their strong history and recent success, Ivory Coast is a solid choice for betting in AFCON. However, it\u2019s important to also consider other factors like the team&#8217;s current form, player injuries, and match conditions when making betting decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Burkina_Faso_Les_Etalons\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#9 Burkina Faso (Les \u00c9talons)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/football\/prematch\/1?utm_source=tz_blog&amp;utm_medium=football_prematch&amp;utm_campaign=top-10-soccer-teams-afcon\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5751\" src=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/9.-Les-Etalons.png\" alt=\"9.

Their best achievement was during the 2008 qualifiers when they beat Burkina Faso twice and came close to topping their group. They also won the CECAFA Cup in 2010, which was a big win for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, they\u2019ve been making strides. In 2024, they finished third in the COSAFA Cup, their biggest football success in years. They also had a strong showing in their second AFCON appearance by beating Uganda 3-0 and reaching the finals for the first time in 39 years. However, they lost all three of their group stage matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking ahead, Tanzania will co-host the 2027 AFCON with Kenya and Uganda. They\u2019re planning to improve their stadiums, boost their branding, ensure security, and offer great hospitality, learning from Ivory Coast\u2019s successful hosting of the 2023 AFCON.
