Sunday at AFCON 2025 promises fireworks. Four matches, two groups, and the tournament's most anticipated clash so far: Ivory Coast against Cameroon.
The full schedule (all times CET)
13:30 - Gabon vs Mozambique (Group F)
Grand Stade d'Agadir
Both teams enter searching for their first points after opening defeats. Gabon fell 1-0 to Cameroon while Mozambique suffered the same fate against holders Ivory Coast. This is effectively an elimination match.
16:00 - Equatorial Guinea vs Sudan (Group E)
Mohammed V Stadium, Casablanca
Equatorial Guinea's 2-1 loss to Burkina Faso leaves them needing results. Sudan, hammered 3-0 by Algeria, face similar pressure. Another virtual knockout game between two desperate teams.
18:30 - Algeria vs Burkina Faso (Group E)
Prince Moulay El Hassan Stadium, Rabat
The group leaders collide. Algeria's 3-0 demolition of Sudan showcased their firepower, while Burkina Faso's narrow win over Equatorial Guinea demonstrated grit. A draw would suit both, but pride rarely allows such pragmatism.
21:00 - Ivory Coast vs Cameroon (Group F)
Grand Stade de Marrakech
The headliner. Defending champions Ivory Coast, seeking their first back-to-back AFCON titles since 2013, meet five-time winners Cameroon. Both won their openers 1-0, setting up a clash that should decide Group F supremacy.
What to watch for
The evening double-header in Groups E and F will clarify the qualification picture considerably. Leaders meeting leaders means someone will blink first.
Ivory Coast's attacking depth—Nicolas Pépé, Franck Kessié, Sébastien Haller—faces Cameroon's veteran defensive nous. Vincent Aboubakar, the Indomitable Lions' talisman, hasn't scored yet but rarely stays quiet for long.
In Group E, Algeria's front three of Islam Slimani, Riyad Mahrez, and Said Benrahma will test Burkina Faso's defensive discipline. The Stallions counter-attack at pace, making this a fascinating tactical battle.
