The AFCON Finale Approaches

News

February 7, 2024

The Africa Cup of Nations never fails to deliver.


This year has already seen Ghana crash out in the group stage, with fellow favourites Egypt
and Morocco being eliminated in the Round of 16 by the DR Congo and South Africa
respectively.


The tournament now has only four remaining teams, with the semi-finals set to take place
tonight.


First, Nigeria will face South Africa at 5pm GMT after a narrow 1-0 victory against a defiant
Angolan side who won the hearts of many with their exciting brand of football.


Then, tournament hosts Ivory Coast will take on the DR Congo at 8pm GMT, a repeat of the
2015 semi-final where the Ivory Coast won 3-1 before going on to beat Ghana in the final.


Is there room for another major upset, or will we see a final between two heavyweights in
Nigeria and the Ivory Coast?


No matter what happens, one thing is for certain: AFCON will continue to deliver right until
the very end.
