Africa’s single-biggest event, the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025, will enter its most exciting phase this week after four of Africa’s top Nations powered their way into the semi-finals with the details already out.

Both semi-finals will be played on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 as record seven-time African champions Egypt, 2013 champions Nigeria, 2021 winners Senegal, and Hosts Morocco have all confirmed their place.

Egypt sealed the final semi-final ticket on Saturday night after edging defending champions Côte d’Ivoire 3-2 in a pulsating contest, bringing the Elephants’ reign to an end.

Senegal were the first side to advance to the last four following a composed 1-0 victory over Mali on Friday.
