The quarter-finals kick off with the hosts Cameroon taking on debutants Gambia for a place in the semi-finals on Saturday 29th January at 7pm followed by Burkina Faso against Tunisia at 10pm.

On Sunday 30th January, it will be an all-North Africa clash with Egypt coming up against Morocco at 7pm and later, 2019 runners-up Senegal will battle it out against Equatorial Guinea at 10pm.

“Fans of the beautiful game can look forward to entertaining quarter final fixtures where nothing short of a win guarantees a semi-final berth. Though not as many goals have been witnessed in the tournament so far, there’s been a good number of surprises key among them Gambia who continue to send shockwaves in their debut appearance at the tournament and are without a loss in the competition so far,” noted StarTimes Regional Marketing Director Mr. Aldrine Nsubuga.

Pressure will be on traditional soccer heavyweights Egypt, who have emerged winners on seven previous occasions – more than any other nation, but yet to hoist the trophy since 2010. Will Liverpool superstar forward Mohamed Salah continue to carry the team past the quarters and can host Cameroon fancy its chances of pulling off a surprise and replicating its 2017 title chase? Catch the nail biting fixtures this Saturday and Sunday to find out.
