CAN 2022. Senegal – Egypt: this Sunday will be the poster for the final of the African Cup of Nations. Last night, the Egyptians joined the Teranga Lions in the final after beating hosts Cameroon on penalties.
[Mis à jour le 4 février 2022 à 11h03] Since this Thursday, February 3, the African Cup of Nations has known its two finalists. After Senegal’s victory this Wednesday against Burkina Faso (3-1) with two goals from its two Parisians, Abdou Diallo (70th) and Idrissa Gueye (76th), the other semi-final opposed this Thursday evening Egypt from the star Mohamed Salah in the host country of the CAN, Cameroon. For the fiftieth match of the CAN, the Indomitable Lions returned to the Olembé stadium in Yaoudé, bereaved since the stampede which left eight dead and around forty injured shortly before the round of 16 between Cameroon and the Comoros (2-1) , January 24.
Cameroon – Egypt: this is the confrontation between the most successful nations on the continent. But also a remake of the 2017 final where Vincent Aboubakar offered the Cup to his country. In this semi-final of the 2022 edition, the Cameroonians showed a lot of desire from the start of the match. Perhaps too much, failing to score that goal which would deliver an entire nation despite possession of the ball in the first period. Too rough, the two teams finally headed for a penalty shootout. Expelled because of his nervousness, Carlos Queiroz, the coach of the Pharaohs could not follow the performance of his second goalkeeper Gabaski who stopped two penalties
Egypt finds itself in the final. Mohamed Salah and his teammates will face Senegal this Sunday. This will be the occasion for a new reunion for the Liverpool winger with Sadio Mané, his teammate in England. If the Pharaohs have the opportunity to win an eighth trophy, Aliou Cissé’s men, after two lost finals in 2002 and 2019, will try to break this series and finally win this CAN.

Throughout the 2022 African Cup of Nations you will be able to follow a wide choice of matches live via our site with the best posters of the group stage and all the matches from the round of 16.
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.
This 2022 African Cup of Nations will take place in two stages: first the group matches, from January 9 to 20, then the final phase with the round of 16 from January 23 to 26, the quarter-finals on January 29 and January 30, the semi-finals on February 2 and 3, then the match for third place and the final on Sunday, February 6, 2022. The first two of each group and the four best third will qualify for the round of 16. In the event of a tie, the following criteria will decide between them: the greatest number of points obtained during the match between the two teams, then the best overall goal difference, then the best attack. If two nations are still tied, then a draw is made. Here is the full schedule:
