This weekend will witness the start of the Africa Cup of Nations tournament with Senegal as the current trophy holders.
Hibs have had many African stars feature in their ranks throughout the years with current defender Rocky Bushiri and goalkeeper Joe Wollacott set to represent the DR Congo and Ghana respectively.
While both players were born outside the countries they now represent, Hibs fans will look forward to watching their stars in action, especially with the Scottish Premiership on hold until the end of the month.
Ahead of the 2023 AFCON, hosted by Ivory Coast with Senegal hoping to repeat their 2021 success, here are the African stars to turn out in the green and white jersey over the years...
