The Morning Call

With a population of about 1.5 million people, Gabon is home to 40 ethnic groups, and boasts of a rich cultural heritage that centers around the rain forest and its treasures.

This year’s AFCON is the 31st edition of the tournament, and it returns to Gabon after 5 years when the country co-hosted it with their neighbours Equatorial Guinea in 2012.
