By playing in the final of AFCON 2025 against Morocco on Sunday, January 18, 2026, Sadio Mané has a golden opportunity to equal, or even break, a record held by Samuel Eto’o in the competition.

Sadio Mané has been involved in 20 goals at AFCON (11 goals, 9 assists), just one contribution short of the current record holder, Samuel Eto’o, who boasts 21 contributions (18 goals, 3 assists).
