Two of the continent’s giants meet in the last-16 of the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday, whe Nigeria face Cameroon. The neighbouring countries endured wildly different group stages with the Super Eagles enjoying a cruise into the knockouts with victories over Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau. Cameroon, meanwhile, were on the verge of a shock exit at the hands of Gambia when two stoppage-time goals sent them through in dramatic fashion.
But the rumours surrounding their camp and a set on uninspiring performances make them the underdogs to reach the quarter-finals, where Namibia or Angola will lie in wait. The Indomitable Lions will be keen to avenge their defeat to Nigeria at this stage of the 2019 AFCON, whereas it was the Super Eagles who were ousted by Tunisia in the last-16 two years ago. Date, kick-off time and venue Nigeria vs Cameroon is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off on Saturday, January 27, 2024. The match will take place at Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan.
