Clear Variation in Arab National Teams' Squads Between the Arab Cup and AFCON
The Arab national teams participating in the Africa Cup of Nations have announced their final squads, revealing a clear variation in the extent to which they rely on players who previously appeared in the Arab Cup. The numbers varied significantly among the teams in terms of the players who participated in both tournaments.
The Sudanese national team tops the list with 16 players who have previously participated in the Arab Cup, reflecting the coaching staff's reliance on certain players due to limited options, followed by the Tunisian national team with 14 players.
On the other hand, the Comoros national team ranked third with 5 players who participated in the Arab Cup, while the Algerian national team came fourth with only 4 players, a number that reflects the changes made to the "Greens" squad compared to the Arab tournament.
In contrast, the rosters showed that the Egyptian and Moroccan national teams do not include any player who has previously appeared in the Arab Cup, confirming that both teams are aiming to rely on completely different lineups for the Africa Cup of Nations.
