Gaziantep defender Steven Caulker is one of seven British-born players in the Sierra Leone AFCON squad.
Sierra Leone is coached by Manchester-born John Keister, a former international.
Their 17-year-old goalkeeper Ibrahim Sesay is expected to be the youngest player at the tournament.
London-born centre half Caulker broke through at Tottenham, before moving to Cardiff and QPR, with spells at Liverpool (on loan), Dundee, Turkish side Alanyaspor and Fenerbahce.
Now on loan at Gaziantep in the Turkish Super Lig, Caulker's only England cap came against Sweden in a 2012 friendly, scoring a goal in a 4-2 defeat, having played every minute for Great Britain at the London Olympics earlier that year.
