As AFCON 2025 approaches, excitement is rising not only among football fans but also across African cultural and creative communities. Among those lending their voice to the anticipation is Jizzle — one of Gambia’s most celebrated artists, cultural influencers and official brand ambassador of 1xBet.
In a special feature prepared in collaboration with 1xBet, an official partner of CAF, Jizzle reflects on what the Africa Cup of Nations means to him and why this tournament continues to unite millions across the continent.
“AFCON is the moment when Africa is seen, valued and celebrated.” — Jizzle
“It means a lot to me because it’s that special moment when the whole world turns its attention to African football — and Africans everywhere feel seen, valued, and celebrated. It’s more than a tournament; it’s a powerful reminder of our unity, pride, and talent.”
Football hero: Samuel Eto’o — “a generational inspiration”
“Samuel Eto’o. His elite striking ability, consistency and finishing made him stand out. He inspired a whole generation, including me, with the way he carried himself on and off the pitch.”
Match of the tournament: Senegal vs Nigeria
“Senegal vs Nigeria. These are my favourite teams in the competition, and both come with strong squads and huge expectations. I believe this matchup will showcase some of Africa’s best football.”
His prediction for Gambia’s national team
“I believe our national team has what it takes to make a strong run. With the talent, preparation and determination I’m seeing, they can reach the knockout stages — and even go further if they maintain their momentum.”
Dark horse of the tournament: Sadio Mané
“Sadio Mané can always change a game on his own. He can surprise any team on any day.”
Potential winner? Senegal feels ready
“I have a strong feeling Senegal could go all the way. They have the discipline, experience and quality to win it.”
How African football has changed: “A new era of global recognition”
“The rise of African players in top European clubs has been massive — it shows how far our talent has come.”
“And investments in stadiums and infrastructure across the continent are helping develop the next generation.”
