2020 African Nations Championship squads

The 2020 African Nations Championship was an international football tournament held in Cameroon from 16 January to 7 February 2021. The 16 national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of up to 33 players, including at least three goalkeepers, an increase over the usual number of 23 players allowed. Only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament. Unlike the Africa Cup of Nations, this tournament exclusively requires players to be registered to a club within their country to be eligible. Expatriate players, even if they play in Africa, cannot participate in the event.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) allowed the 16 teams involved to register a list of up to 33 players (23-man normal squad and up to 10 extra players) in order that teams have available players in case players from their list of 23 with positive tests for SARS-CoV-2 are detected and require to be replaced during the tournament. However, the inclusion of the 10 extra players was optional and not mandatory. Each national team had to submit its list of 23 players and up to 10 optional extra players to CAF Secretary General until 6 January 2021 deadline, 10 days before the start of the tournament.^[1][2]

The age listed for each player is on 16 January 2021, the first day of the tournament. A flag is included for coaches who are of a different nationality than their own national team. Players in cursive were registered as reserves.
