AFCON is finally here, following months of rumors over which players will be ruled out of club action for up to four weeks. Following the most recent round of play, the continental tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, with players having to join their national teams. This year's edition of the Ivory Coast will be held in Senegal, with Senegal as the reigning champions after defeating Egypt on penalties in the 2021 tournament (which took place in 2002).

As the World Cup heats up as the tournament's last stages get underway, there is still plenty of drama in Qatar. Throughout this World Cup, refereeing decisions and VAR have been scrutinized, with video technology again causing much outrage. Mark Clattenburg of Sportsmail has ruled over some of the most contentious decisions of the past week.

In both teams' vital final group stage match at the Qatar World Cup, Ghana (left) faces Uruguay. Despite losing 3-2 against Portugal in their tournament opener, the African team bounced back to beat South Korea 3-2 on Monday to boost their hopes of qualifying for the last 16. Otto Addo's side needs a victory over Uruguay on Friday to ensure progression, but a draw could be enough, depending on Portugal's results against South Korea. Uruguay has failed at this tournament and currently sits last in Group H after a goalless draw with South Korea and a 2-0 loss to Portugal on Monday. Uruguay must win. And in the 2010 World Cup, Ghana's bitter quarter-final exit (right) - and others of Luis Suarez (inset right) - gives the country a chance not only to make the mistakes but also to exact revenge and eliminate the South American outfit. Sportsmail takes you through everything you need to hear about the Al-Janoub Stadium (inset left) shortly approaching.
