    AFCON 2021: Tournament Fixtures, Venues, Full Schedule, Scores, and Kick-off Times 2022

    Here is the complete itinerary for AFCON 2021, including dates, kick-off times, and host cities.

    Twenty-four teams will compete, with the first match taking place on January 9 in Yaounde between hosts Cameroon and Burkina Faso, and the final taking place on February 6 in the city.

    AFCON on Sunday

    The Africa Cup of Nations starts on Tuesday, with Egypt’s Mo Salah taking the field for the first time in the competition, under veteran international manager Carlos Quieroz.

    They’ll be up against a Nigerian team that finished third in the 2019 tournament and boasts plenty of firepower in the likes of Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Leicester striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

    On paper, that appears to be the match of the day, but don’t forget about Sudan, the 1970 champions who are making their first participation in a decade – and only their third since 1976.

    When Mohammed Abdel Rahman, a 28-year-old striker, was transferred to Algerian side CABBA in 2020, he became the country’s first $1 million export, and his 10 goals in 15 internationals last year were a big reason for reaching the finals – including six in qualification.
