The outcome of the upcoming 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) featured in the 31st Night prophecies by Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the founder and leader of the Prophetic Hill Chapel.

Nigel Gaisie listed the winner of the 2023 AFCON as one of the about 30 prophesies he announced on happening in Ghana and some other parts of the world for the year 2024.

Addressing his congregation on the night of December 31, 2023, the prophet indicated that the winner of the upcoming AFCON, which is slated for January 13, 2023, to February 11, 2024, would be a surprise to everybody.

The pastor suggested that an underdog would win the 2023 African Cup Nations, even though he fell short of mentioning the name of the country or its region.

“The AFCON, an unexpected African country would win it,” he said as he was addressing his congregation during his 2023 31st Night prophesies.
