AFCON 2025 Quarter-Final Fixtures, Dates, and Venues

The quarter-final line-up for the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 is now clearer following Algeria’s qualification after their Round of 16 victory over DR Congo on Tuesday.

Seven out of eight nations have already qualified for this round of the continent’s greatest tournament, PUNCH Online reports.

Algeria edged DR Congo 1–0 after extra time in Rabat, with substitute Anis Boulbina scoring the decisive goal in the 119th minute to seal their place in the last eight. The win sets up a quarter-final clash against Nigeria.

Nigeria had earlier secured their quarter-final ticket on Monday night with a convincing 4–0 win over Mozambique, as Victor Osimhen scored twice to send the Super Eagles through.

Senegal, Mali, hosts Morocco, Cameroon and Egypt had already booked their places in the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, defending champions Côte d’Ivoire were the last to seal a spot at the  Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 quarter-final line-up after a dominant 3-0 victory over Burkina Faso on Tuesday night in Marrakesh.

Côte d’Ivoire will now face Egypt in a highly anticipated quarter-final clash on Saturday in Agadir, as they continue their bid for back-to-back AFCON titles.

Goals from Amad Diallo (20’), Yan Diomandé (32’) and a late strike by Bamba Touré (87’) powered the Elephants past the Stallions, as the Ivorians delivered a composed and clinical performance to underline their title credentials.
