The Players and Staff feel confident of doing well in the competition. Assistant coach, of Equatorial Guinea Castro Nopo has expressed their confidence, while speaking to the press –he said;

“We are not afraid of any team. We are like the other 23 teams here and we will defend our chances. Cote d’Ivoire is a great team, but the last time we played against them it was a 1-1 draw. This AFCON will be very special for everyone. It’s a great competition and just because we’re going to play the tournament outside our country doesn’t mean we don’t have ambitions”.
