CAN 2022. End of the group stage of the African Cup of Nations, time to take stock before the start of the round of 16 on Sunday.
[Mis à jour le 21 janvier 2021 à 09h54] Undefeated before the start of the CAN, Algeria, which was aiming for a double after its success in 2019, will not even pass the group stage of this African Cup of Nations. Worse, with a draw against Sierra Leone, two defeats against Equatorial Guinea and Côte d’Ivoire, the Algerians finished in last place in the group and posted the penultimate balance sheet of this CAN. It’s a total failure. Ivory Coast proved to be better than us tonight (Thursday). They were efficient and gave their all. This is what we missed on this CAN. It is too early to explain how to use this failure to recover. The dams will come quickly. Of course I have an idea what went wrong. Many things but it is too early to talk about it. We are in doubt. We will have to analyze this and get back into the mars barrage
On the other hand, if it cries in Algeria, the Comoros are at the party. For its very first participation, the Comorians will play the round of 16 against the host country, Cameroon. Nigeria, Egypt, Guinea, Mali, Tunisia, Gambia, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Cape Verde, Malawi, Morocco, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Burkina Faso are also qualified.
The African Cup of Nations usually takes place every two years, in odd years, so as not to collide with the World Cup or the Euro, but for this 33rd edition had to be postponed from 2021 to 2022 due constraints linked to the health crisis. In addition, after programming in summer during the previous edition, CAN 2022 finds more usual dates, in winter, from January 9 to February 6.
The 2022 African Cup of Nations is hosted by Cameroon. This is the second time in history that the competition has been organized by the country after that of 1972.
