FOOTBALL – THE fixtures for the Round of 16 at the Africa Cup of Nations have been set following a thrilling group stage campaign that highlighted the world-class quality of football on the continent.
The first knockout stage will be staged from tomorrow, to Tuesday, with two matches every day.
Hosts Morocco face Tanzania at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah in Rabat on Sunday with an expectant crowd roaring them on as they seek a first continental title in 50 years.
Morocco topped Group A, with Tanzania qualifying as one of the four best third-placed sides out of Group C.
South Africa and Cameroon will lock horns later that same day at the Al Medina Stadium in Rabat pitting coach Hugo Broos against the side he led to the title in 2017.
Before those fixtures, 2021 winners Senegal take on Sudan tomorrow in the first of the Round of 16 games at the Grand Stade de Tangier to kick off the knockout phase.
Later that evening Mali tackle Tunisia at the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca, with the former seeking a maiden continental crown and Tunisia looking to repeat their 2004 triumph.
Egypt are record seven-time winners but have not lifted the trophy since 2010, a long wait for fans of the Pharaohs.
