Honorable Mentions
Youcef Belaili:
The forward has been one of the key attacking players of his team that has scored the highest number of goals at the tournament.
He is perfectly stationed by coach Belmadi between the lines to receive passes and combine with the center-forward Baghdad Bounedjah, with whom he has an excellent relationship.
He has also scored two goals so far, including the one crucial goal that gave them the victory over their opponents in the final, Senegal.
Idrissa Gueye:
Idrissa Gueye holds the key to balance in the Senegal squad, which was evident when he had to miss out on their fixture against Algeria, which resulted in a 1-0 loss for the Teranga Lions.
Known for his hard-tackling and ball-winning style of play, he has played a more attacking role for his team in the tournament and has also found the back of the net on one occasion.
