39 gün önce▪︎~• DAY 1 •~▪︎ GROUP A
MOROCCO 2–0 NEW ZEALAND
This opening day kicked off with a fiercely contested clash between two managers who know each other inside out. Both managers share a common goal: to rebuild their teams by massively rejuvenating the squad and phasing out ageing stalwarts and former veterans. On the pitch, the Atlas Lions’ superiority was evident from the kick-off, against an All Whites side that proved utterly unable to put up a fight.
MAURITANIA 2-0 ZAMBIA
Last year’s runners-up had no trouble seeing off the Chipolopolos. The Mourabitounes were in complete control from start to finish. It is a particularly encouraging victory as the tournament progresses.
GROUP B
CAPE VERDE 0–5 IVORY COAST
In their first match of the season, the Elephants made a big impact, particularly as they were up against an experienced side like the Blue Sharks. The five goals conceded by the latter raise many questions. It is a heavy defeat for Cape Verde, but it comes early enough in the season for them to get back on track.
ANGOLA 1–0 SUDAN
For administrative and organisational reasons, Angola were awarded a walkover victory against Sudan.
GROUP C
Nothing to report in this group. BENIN and GABON were awarded wins by default against INDIA and CYPRUS respectively, for the same administrative reasons. We can only hope that matchday two goes ahead as normal for all the football associations.

36 gün önce▪︎~• MATCHDAY 2 •~▪︎ MOROCCO 2–1 MAURITANIA:
Following their defeat on penalties in last year’s edition, this North African derby offered the Mourabitounes a chance to prove themselves, and the Atlas Lions a chance for revenge.
The Moroccans gave their opponents no time to catch their breath, scoring two goals within the first quarter of an hour.
Remarkable control of the match then left Mauritania with no chance of a comeback, despite a late goal from the Greens.
ZAMBIA 1-2 NEW ZEALAND:
The All Whites got off to a painful start in this tournament.
The Chipolopolos found the net very early on in the match.
Unfortunately for them, experience ultimately made the difference.
We witnessed a heroic comeback from the New Zealanders, who pushed relentlessly to equalise before snatching victory in the very final minutes of the match.

ANGOLA 4-0 CAPE VERDE:
What is going on within the Cape Verdean football association?
After years of making an excellent impression, the Blue Sharks have been swept up in a veritable storm from which they cannot find a way out.
Facing a high-calibre Angolan side, their ordeal was complete.
This heavy defeat must serve as a wake-up call for the officials, well before the players.
In contrast, the Palancas Negras dominated proceedings, finding the back of the net four times.
For them, the objective is now crystal clear: to retain the title on home soil.
ETHIOPIA 1–0 SUDAN:
Ethiopia’s return after several editions’ absence, combined with Sudan’s first-ever participation, sparked particular enthusiasm amongst the supporters.
Whilst both teams were very wary of one another, the Sudanese showed great defensive resilience, holding out bravely until the 85th minute.
It was at that moment that the match turned: from a long-range free-kick curled perfectly into the box, Ethiopian striker Debebe found himself perfectly positioned to fire the ball into the back of the net.
- - -
BENIN 1-1 BAHRAIN:
Whilst no one was expecting a miracle from them, Bahrain are taking part in this tournament to gauge their strengths against other national teams.
Facing a regular on the African continent such as Benin, the Warriors of Dilmoun managed to open the scoring very early in the match.
However, their overly defensive approach cost them in the second half, allowing Benin to snatch an equaliser moments before the final whistle.
INDIA 3–4 CYPRUS:
The highlight of the second day! We were treated to a thrilling spectacle right from the kick-off, with the Indians initially dominating play across the entire pitch.
They managed to open the scoring before doubling their lead within the first thirty minutes.
Cyprus’s response was immediate: a spectacular comeback completely turned the match on its head.
But the twists and turns didn’t stop there. In the 70th minute, India equalised, bringing the score back to 3–3.
The tension remained high until Cyprus were awarded a perfectly-placed free-kick inside the penalty area. Top scorer Mintikkis stepped up to fire a powerful shot into the back of the net in the 88th minute, sending the stands into a frenzy.
A match for the history books, where only victory mattered on this mad night.

29 gün önce▪︎~• MATCHDAY 3 •~▪︎ Group A
Zimbabwe 0–1 Morocco: the Atlas Lions managed their match perfectly, dominating proceedings to come away unscathed with a narrow victory, but with three precious points in the bag.
Group B
Cape Verde 0–1 (F) Ethiopia: the spectre of a walkover looms once again over the competition.
Ethiopia has been officially declared the winner of this fixture by walkover.
Côte d’Ivoire 1–2 Angola: a top-of-the-table clash between two high-calibre sides.
Physicality was the defining feature of this match.
Tactical changes made very early on had an immediate effect, allowing both teams to find the back of the net.
In the end, it was the Palancas Negras who took all three points, leaving the Ivorian Elephants facing the immense disappointment of having let a draw slip away.
Group C
Bahrain 2–1 Cyprus: scoring the first goal is never a guarantee of victory.
Cyprus’s opening goal, which came just seconds after kick-off, was not enough to galvanise the team.
On the contrary, it stung the Bahrain side, who launched wave after wave of attacks before managing to turn the tide and snatch victory on home soil.
Gabon 1–2 India:
The Blue Tigers never cease to surprise.
India have just put in another remarkable performance, this time against Gabon.
Spectators were treated to a very open match in which both teams gave their all.
This final score seems fair, and we now expect a show of pride from the competition’s top teams.

.
Matchday 4 of the Africa Cup of Nations was full of twists and turns, shaking up the pecking order even amongst the federations most accustomed to this competition.
⚽️
ZAMBIA 0-1 MOROCCO: The Atlas Lions maintained their perfect record with a narrow victory over Zambia, securing three precious points.
⚽️
NEW ZEALAND 3-0 MAURITANIA: The game of musical chairs continues between these two nations, promising an explosive final day.
The All Whites thrashed Zimbabwe, despite the latter putting in a fine performance, which was let down by a lack of clinical finishing.
⚽️
ETHIOPIA 3-4 ANGOLA: The highlight of the evening came from the long-range duel between the stars of both teams.
Whilst the Ethiopian striker shone by scoring a hat-trick, his Angolan counterpart went one better by netting a super hat-trick.
⚽️
SUDAN 0-0 IVORY COAST: A bizarre outcome for this fixture, in which neither team walked away with the three points, as the match ended in a double forfeit for both sides due to a breach of organisational rules.
⚽️
BAHRAIN 3-0 INDIA: Flying under the radar, Bahrain took top spot in their group by dominating India, a side that played attractive football but were unable to capitalise on their chances.
⚽️
BENIN 0-5 GABON: The Cheetahs are in freefall. On this matchday, they suffered a crushing defeat against Gabon. Matchday 5 is already shaping up to be a cracker!

3 gün önce🏆 ▪︎~• QUART de FINALE •~▪︎ 🏆
.
Les matchs des quarts de finale se sont déroulés avec des enjeux divers, mais un objectif unique : Atteindre le carré d'as
Les Lions de l'Atlas ont imposé leur suprématie. Grâce à leur supériorité technique et un style de jeu parfaitement maîtrisé, les Marocains ont totalement étouffé la sélection éthiopienne. Cette dernière a semblé impuissante, malgré une ligne offensive de qualité qui a tenté de timides banderilles. L'expulsion survenue dans le camp éthiopien a fini par sceller le sort du match, rendant la tâche impossible. Au coup de sifflet final, c'est une défaite lourde, mais d'une logique implacable pour l'Éthiopie.
.
Un scénario presque identique à l'autre rencontre. L'Angola s'est montré particulièrement entreprenant, imposant son rythme et sa domination sur le jeu. En face, l'armada offensive gabonaise a tenté de faire mal et de déstabiliser le bloc adverse, mais sans jamais y parvenir. Plus réalistes, les Angolais ont fini par inscrire l'unique but de la partie. Une réalisation qui vaut de l'or, puisqu'elle propulse directement l'Angola au prochain tour de la compétition.
.
Encore une fois, les rêves des All Whites s'effondrent. Cette fois-ci, la Nouvelle-Zélande est tombée sur une sélection gabonaise qui traverse la plus belle période de toutes les éditions. Dès la première mi-temps, les Panthères ont dicté le jeu, bien lancées par une ouverture du score très précoce. En face, la réaction néo-zélandaise s'est avérée trop tardive, malgré de multiples tentatives pour revenir au score. Homme fort de la rencontre, N'guele a logiquement été élu MVP de la partie grâce à son superbe doublé.
.
Le Bahreïn crée la sensation en éliminant la Mauritanie ! Alors qu'on attendait les Mourabitounes, forts de leur immense expérience dans cette compétition, c’est la surprise bahreïnite qui a bousculé les pronostics. Dès le coup d'envoi, les intentions des deux équipes ont été claires, avec un tableau d'affichage qui affichait déjà 1-1 après seulement douze minutes de jeu. L'homme fort de la rencontre a été la star bahreïnite Mohamed, d'une efficacité redoutable, qui s'est offert un triplé historique. Le Bahreïn décroche ainsi une qualification historique pour sa toute première participation, tandis que la Mauritanie sort par la petite porte.
