The Africa Cup of Nations has reached the quarter-finals following a dramatic opening round of knockout fixtures.
Fans and neutrals alike will hope the tournament brings the same intensity to the final-eight showdowns with Mohamed Salah’s Egypt still involved.
Salah’s Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane also remains in the tournament with Senegal, while hosts Cameroon will be determined to make the most of their home advantage.
Of course, plenty of drama on and off the field has enveloped the globe since the last edition of the tournament. Players will be itching to power their way through games which will take place across Cameroon.

When is Africa Cup of Nations?
The Africa Cup of Nations runs from Sunday 9th January 2022 until Sunday 6th February 2022.
The tournament was originally slated to be played last summer, but hot weather conditions were deemed unfavourable and in January 2020 – prior to the COVID-19 pandemic – the tournament was moved to January-February 2021.
In June 2020, the decision was made to shift the tournament for the second time, into its final slot in January-February 2022, though the tournament will retain the name ‘2021 Africa Cup of Nations’.
