Ah, football! That magnificent sport where 22 men kick a ball for 90 minutes and, at the end of it, the only thing we’ve gained is a solid understanding of why we don’t bet on our own teams. But hold onto your hats because the CAF TotalEnergies CAN 2025 is on the horizon, and it’s shaping up to be an electrifying tournament!
