CAN 2022. The first big surprise of this CAN 2022 is the elimination of the Ayew brothers from Ghana, beaten by the Comoros.
[Mis à jour le 19 janvier 2021 à 08h35] The table of the round of 16 is starting to take shape in this 2022 African Cup of Nations. On Tuesday January 18, Senegal, the last CAN finalists, were hot, but passed after their 0-0 draw against Malawi . Aliou Cissé’s men even regained first place in the standings after Zimbabwe’s victory against Guinea (2-1). In the other group of the day, Gabon could not do better than a 2-2 draw against Morocco, already qualified for the round of 16, but still went to the round of 16 after the historic victory of the Comoros on Ghana, eliminated from the African Cup of Nations.
This Wednesday, January 19, Mohamed Salah’s Egypt has no right to defeat against Sudan. Second with 3 points, the Pharaohs could be eliminated from the competition if they obtain anything other than a victory.
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.
