According to Footy Headlines, out of the 24 national teams present at the 2023 AFCON, Puma will kit by far the most countries with six, while Lacatoni is the only other brand to outfit more than one team.

There are 18 different sportswear manufacturers in total present at the AFCON, including top brands like Adidas, Nike, and Puma, although none of the top three brands will be releasing new jerseys for the competition.

Here, Sports Brief takes a look at the top five best jerseys at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

AFCON 2023 Golden Ball contenders

Earlier, Sports Brief reported the 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations is set to kick off in a few days, with the competition set to feature top stars from different countries on the continent.

Sadio Mane won the best player in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations ahead of Vincent Aboubakar and Mohamed Salah.
