The West African country's team does not boast the kind of experience that the football squads of heavyweights like Ivory Coast, Tunisia, and Algeria have. Going into their 6th appearance (including two quarter final berths attained in 1994 and 2012) in the competition this year, the Panthers have the pressure-relieving advantage of not being among the heavily fancied teams in the CAN 2015. In Africa, FIFA ranks them at #16, and #49 in the world.
How Gabon qualified for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations
Along with Burkina Faso, Gabon qualified as Group C leaders on 15th November 2014 at the expense of Angola and Lesotho. Their hard-fought qualification process includes a 4-2 home win against Lesotho and a 2-0 win against fellow qualifiers Burkina Faso.
Gabon's top players to watch
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Gabon and Borussia Dortmund
Panthers fans will see no reason why Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can not transfer his fantastic form for Borussia Dortmund to the Gabon national team, and the fleet-forward has not given them any reason to doubt this so far. Aubameyang has already displayed his goal-scoring prowess during the group stage, netting both of Gabon's goals in the sensational 2-0 win over Burkina Faso on 11th October 2014. Should he keep his head up and do what he does best, Gabon will certainly be able to ask questions of the likes of Senegal and Congo.
