Africa Cup of Nations to kick off Saturday

Â

Prior to Bob Bradley being appointed as its head coach, Egypt failed to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. The Pharoahs' failure is the rest of Africa's success, as for the first time in six years a new champion will be crowned.

The 28th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations is set to get underway on Saturday, with 16 teams competing in the host nations of Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
