CAN 2022. The first knockout stages were played this Sunday, January 23 and it is Burkina Faso and Tunisia who are in the quarter-finals of the African Cup of Nations.
[Mis à jour le 23 janvier 2021 à 08h30] Surprises for the start of the round of 16 of the 2022 African Cup of Nations with the qualification of Burkina Faso at the end of a very long meeting which went as far as the penalty shootout. In the other eighth, it was Tunisia, weakened by the Covid, which achieved the feat of taking out Nigeria, yet undefeated during the group stage and which seemed to be one of the favorite teams of this CAN 2022.
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, the 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.
