The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations has been a gift that certainly keeps on giving, from breathtaking goals, and upsets, to unreal brilliance. This tournament will likely go down as one of the best in history.

Despite only the group stage being witnessed so far, Africa has beamed its beauty and light on the world, with sound officiating also being witnessed at the competition.

78 goals were scored in the group stage of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, an astronomical figure, taking into consideration previous AFCON tournaments.

Anyway, the competition keeps getting better, hotter, and more fierce, with several nations looking to achieve glory.

Senegal and Morocco appear to be favorites for the crown, but it is difficult to pinpoint which nation will win the trophy.

Cape Verde and Equatorial Guinea displayed brilliance in the group stage and many are looking out to see what they will produce in the knockout rounds.

The Round of 16 is now upon us, with intriguing and fascinating matches set to be witnessed.


January 27, 2024: Nigeria Vs Cameroon 09:00 PM (WAT)

Three-time Africa Cup of Nations champions, Nigeria, face off against 5-time champions, Cameroon.

This clash is soaked in history and rivalry, with the continent looking forward to seeing what these two teams will produce.

There is love lost between the Super Eagles and the Indomitable Lions, as Nigeria could have had more AFCON titles in the bag, if not for Cameroon, who stopped the country in three finals.

It will be interesting to see where the pendulum will swing come January 27, 2024.

January 27, 2024: Angola Vs Namibia 06:00 PM (WAT)

This is a clash involving two nations looking to make history, with Angola aiming to reach the quarter-final for the 3rd-time in the country's history, while Namibia look to set bigger heights, having made it to the last 16 for the first time in the country's history.

Angola ranked 117th in the world, while Namibia are ranked 3 spots higher at 114, and truly this clash is expected to be a keenly contested affair.

January 28, 2024: Egypt Vs DR Congo 09:00 PM (WAT)

Seven-time champions Egypt have been underwhelming in the tournament thus far, failing to get one victory in 3 group matches.

DR Congo also have identical fortunes with their last 16 opposition, having failed to pick up any victory in 3 group stage games.

Anyway, it's left to be seen which nation will bring their spark in the knockout stages, whether it is the 1968 champions, DR Congo, or 7-time Champions Egypt.

January 28, 2024: Equatorial Guinea Vs Guinea 06:00 PM (WAT)

Equatorial Guinea are in the form of their lives, with Emilio Nsue powering the nation forward, alongside his teammates.

Unbeaten in 3 group-stage matches, they take on Guinea, who finished as one of the best 3rd-placed teams.

This encounter is pregnant with an unknown outcome and we will certainly be here to lap up all the excitement.

January 29, 2024: Cape Verde Vs Mauritania 06:00 PM (WAT)

This clash on paper looks straightforward for Cape Verde, but football is an unpredictable spot.

This is another game involving a group winner (Cape Verde) and the best loser (Mauritania), but all the hard work of the group stage is expected to be witnessed in the knockout stages, and as such, it is a clean slate for the teams, you snooze, you lose.

January 29, 2024: Senegal Vs Cote D'Ivoire 09:00 (WAT)

This is rivaling the match between Nigeria and Cameroon, as the biggest game in the group stage, given the history of both nations.

Senegal are the defending champions of the tournament and they have been outstanding so far in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Côte D'Ivoire were offered a lifeline to remain in the tournament and they celebrated it in grand style.

This is another opportunity for them to show what they have to offer, and for Senegal another game to exhibit their domineering edge over other nations in the tournament.

January 30, 2024: Morocco Vs South Africa
09:00 PM (WAT)


Both nations have won the Africa Cup of Nations once in their history, but Morocco goes into this clash as the favorites.

South Africa will be looking to down the Atlas Lions, while Morocco know that it's all to play for against the Bafana Bafana.

Irrespective of what Walid Regragui's side did at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, they will have to show their dominance in Africa to earn bigger plaudits from the continent.

Bafana Bafana will also be looking to continue their show of confidence and guts in the knockout stage.

January 30, 2024: Mali Vs Burkina Faso 06:00 PM (WAT)

The two nations have necessarily not impressed at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, but they have done the job expected of them.

Mali, unbeaten in the tournament, having picked up 2 draws and 1 win, are facing 2013 Africa Cup of Nations runner-up Burkina Faso, who ticked all the boxes in the group stage, with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 defeat.

Both countries will have to up the ante a notch higher and ooze class to go far in the tournament, but anyway, it is the Round of 16 to think about first.
