This kit comes from an important period for Gabon, leading into the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, which the country hosted. Hosting the tournament brought major attention to the national team and marked one of the biggest moments in their football history.

The squad at the time was led by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, widely regarded as Gabon’s greatest ever player. During this era, he was at his peak with Borussia Dortmund and carried the national team as captain and main goal threat.

Interesting points about Gabon:

• Despite being a smaller football nation, they have consistently produced technically strong players
• Reached the AFCON quarter-finals multiple times but have never gone beyond that stage
• Football is hugely popular domestically, especially in the capital Libreville
• The national team nickname is “Les Panthères” (The Panthers)
