The Round of 16 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations continues this Monday with two big clashes on the schedule: Egypt – Benin, Nigeria – Mozambique.
The Round of 16 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations delivered its first verdicts on Sunday evening. The host nation of the tournament, Morocco, sealed their quarterfinal berth by defeating Tanzania (1-0), after a controlled display. The Atlas Lions thus continue their run in front of their home crowd.
In the other match of the evening, Cameroon dominated South Africa (2-1) and also qualified for the next round, confirming its status as a serious title contender. The clash between Morocco and Cameroon is now scheduled for the quarterfinals in the coming days.
The rest of the Round of 16 action continues this Monday. Egypt will face Benin at the Adrar Stadium in Agadir, while Nigeria will clash with Mozambique in the evening at the Fez Stadium. Quarterfinalists at CAN 2019, the Cheetahs can they regain this level of the competition? A mission, in any case perilous for Steve Mounié’s crew, tasked with unleashing heavy artillery against the razor-sharp talons of the Super Eagles, favourites in this West African showdown. Verdict is expected tonight from 5:00 PM (Benin time).
