Nigerian players William Troost-Ekong, Ola Aina and Ademola Lookman have been named in the best eleven of the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

CAF announced the lineup in a post on its X account on Wednesday.

Nigeria had the highest number of players on the list alongside Cote d’Ivoire, the winners.

Troost-Ekong, who was named the player of the tournament, was included in the lineup, with Ola Aina slotted in as the best right-back while Ademola Lookman was the only Nigerian attacker named.

Victor Osimhen, the 2023 African footballer of the year, was missing from the best eleven.

Cote d’Ivoire had Franck Kessie, Jean Seri and Ghislain Konan, while Ronwen Williams and Teboho Mokoena were named from the South African team.

The Democratic Republic of Congo had Chancel Mbemba and Yoane Wissa in the best team, while Equatorial Guinea’s Emilio Nsue completed the lineup.
