2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations squads
The following is a list of squads for each national team competing at the 2023 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations. The tournament took place in Morocco from 24 June to 8 July 2023. It was the fourth U-23 age group competition organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The 8 national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of maximum 26 players, including three goalkeepers. Only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament. Players born on or after 1 January 2001 were eligible to compete in the tournament.[1]
The full squad listings are below. The age listed for each player is on 24 June 2023, the first day of the tournament. The nationality for each club reflects the national association (not the league) to which the club is affiliated. A flag is included for coaches who are of a different nationality than their own national team.
