AFCON 2023: Which teams have qualified for quarter-finals
Top African teams fight the AFCON 2023 crown
Maybe in football knockouts, the outcome is all that matters. You pass through, you exit, and everything else is noise. But that’s particularly the case when the match is the greatest rivalry in contemporary sub-Saharan African football.
The entire ninety minutes won’t be watched by many individuals in awestruck fashion. It is irrelevant, though. Cameroon is eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations; Nigeria advances to play Angola in the quarterfinals.
It was never going to be the most beautiful game, especially with the dew-covered pitch and maybe the twenty-five minutes of washing it before kickoff.
The knockout rounds of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations have begun. Find out which teams in Côte d’Ivoire still have an opportunity to win. It is known who the first two quarterfinalists are.
In Côte d’Ivoire, the 2023 CAF Africa Cup of Nations is presently in its knockout stage.
