Senegal - Ivory Coast, Nigeria - Cameroon, here is the schedule for the 8 of CAN 2024

The group stage of CAN 2024 ended this Wednesday, January 24 and we now know the 16 countries qualified for the round of eighth of CAN 2024. The Ivorian miracle took place and the Elephants qualified thanks to the defeat of Zambia against Morocco (0-1) But Ivory Coast, which dismissed its coach this Wednesday, will have to do much better than in the first round to achieve the feat of taking out Senegal, African champion in title and uncompromising since the start of the CAN with three victories in three matches.

The Nigeria-Cameroon clash will also be worth the detour between two teams who met at the same stage of the competition at CAN 2019 in Egypt. The Super Eagles emerged victorious from the duel (3-2).

Amazing in the first round, Equatorial Guinea, with the competition's top scorer, Emilio Nsue (5 goals), will face Guinea and will want to maintain its momentum from the first round by having finished first in a group where Ivory Coast and Nigeria. In three appearances, Nzalang Nacional has always reached the quarter-finals.

Miraculous in the first round, Egypt, the record holder of titles (7), will have to pull out all the stops to get rid of the DR Congo who seems to have kept it under their soles in the first round.

RDC (0-0) Tanzania

The bankruptcy of the big ones like Algeria, Tunisia, and Ghana gave rise to surprise posters like Angola-Namibia or Cape Verde-Mauritania of small derbies between surprise guests.

The underdog match for the title will also be a beautiful West African derby between Mali and Burkina Faso.
