Reason 10 - Its still a tournament relatively uncontaminated by megabucks.
As with all major sporting events the hand of multi-international marketing is inevitably close at hand. The CAN is no different, sure Orange sponsor the tournament and major brands such as Guinness, MTN etc are present but at a more lower key level.
Tickets don't need to be reserved a year in advance and apart from the games involving host nations Gabon & Equatorial Guinea (which are sell outs) group stage tickets can still be bought for €7.65 (compare this to €30 for the lowest match ticket at Euro 2012).
So 10 reasons to follow a fantastic tournament that kicks off today with the inaugural match being co-hosts Eq. Guinea v the "new" Libya. Eurosport is your TV destination for live coverage and highlights.
Obvious favourites are Ivory Coast but Senegal at 13/2 may not be a bad bet.
Enjoy!
