CAN 2022. By winning against Burkina Faso and Ethiopia, Cameroon and Burkina Faso take the lead in Group A of the African Cup of Nations.
[Mis à jour le 10 janvier 2021 à 08h20] CAN 2022 is underway and the Indomitable Lions did not miss their entry into contention with a victory against Burkina Faso thanks to their striker Vincent Aboubakar, author of a double. “The victory was important for us. I was a little scared (at 0-1) but, frankly, I trusted my players. We knew playing at home in Game 1 was a bit stressful. A psychological burden weighs on the players but our team has shown its capacity to react. We did not have a great match but the main thing remains to have won “analyzed Toni Conceiçao, Cameroon coach. In the same group, Cape Verde also started well in this African Cup of nations with a victory by the smallest of margins (1-0) against Ethiopia.
The African Cup of Nations usually takes place every two years, in odd-numbered 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 to constraints linked to the health crisis. In addition, after programming in summer during the previous edition, CAN 2022 returns to more usual dates, in winter, from January 9 to February 6.
The 2022 Africa 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 knockout stages 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 top two from each group and the top four third will advance to the round of 16. In the event of a tie, the following criteria will be used to decide between them: the greatest number of points obtained in the match between the two teams, then the best overall goal difference, then the best attack. If two nations are still tied, then a drawing of lots is carried out. Here is the full schedule:
