In goal, André Onana  has been a fortress, standing tall as one of the finest goalkeepers on the planet.

The defense is rock-solid, featuring the ever-reliable Achraf Hakimi , commanding Kalidou Koulibaly , and the powerhouse Chancel Mbemba , forming an unbreakable backline.

Midfield is where the magic happens. Sofyan Amrabat  orchestrates play with precision, flanked by the energetic duo of Franck Kessié  and Yves Bissouma , who dominate both ends of the pitch.

The attack is nothing short of sensational. Mohammed Kudus  dazzles with flair, while Mohamed Salah  and Ademola Lookman  light up the wings with pace and brilliance. Leading the line, Victor Osimhen  is a force of nature, delivering goals with clinical efficiency.

This dream team is a testament to the extraordinary talent Africa continues to produce, inspiring millions across the globe.
