Teams to Keep An Eye On
Ghana
The joint-most decorated team featuring in the 2015 contest, Ghana will once again embark upon a journey to live up to their tag as a heavy contender for the 2015 crown.
Their four titles are a feat matched only by Cameroon—Egypt have won seven tournaments but aren't involved this year—and new coach Avram Grant, confirmed by BBC Sport's John Bennett, is hoping to add a fifth:
With former Chelsea and West Ham chief Grant at their helm, the Black Stars have a tactician who has done the rounds on the club scene, but will now seek international success after inheriting such a talented squad.
One asset he won't have at his disposal, however, is Kwadwo Asamoah of Juventus, who has picked up injury at a most unfortunate time ahead of the competition:
Nevertheless, a team that lost only one fixture in their Group E qualification run can expect to challenge stiffly for silverware, the likes of Asamoah Gyan, Andre Ayew and Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu promising to make their attack a special one.
Congo
Everybody loves an underdog and Congo have made their return to the peak of Africa's elite contest after spending 14 years away, having last played in an Africa Cup of Nations in 2000.
They enter the fray as the lowest-seeded team overall, but finishing second to South Africa in Group A qualification was no small feat, amassing just two points fewer than Bafana Bafana.
Manager Claude LeRoy is no stranger to this scene and Congo will be the fifth different side he has led to the Africa Cup of Nations finals, having previously taken charge of Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon and DR Congo.
Speaking to BBC Sport, LeRoy spoke of his hope to see Congo revel in their opportunity, and the low level of attention surrounding their campaign could ultimately be an advantage.
The team's main struggle will be scoring goals, having netted three of their six qualifying goals in a 3-2 win over Nigeria, but the ability to stifle certain opponents will nonetheless be of aid in tournament conditions.
