There's no World Cup in 2013. No European Championships or Olympics, either.
But there is the African Cup of Nations from Jan. 19 to Feb. 10. If you haven't paid any attention before to this mammoth tournament, well...you're in for a serious treat.
Between well-known international powerhouses like the Ivory Coast and Ghana, superstar players like Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure and the World Cup-style elation and excitement of host nation South Africa, these three-plus weeks of soccer are bound to be spectacular.
We're here to keep tabs on scores and group standings throughout AFCON, so keep checking back for updates.
