We round up the list of Africa Cup of Nations 2023 fixtures, including the full schedule for the tournament and kick-off times.
The Africa Cup of Nations kicks off with great expectations, as some of the world’s finest players head to their home continent in a bid for glory.
Ivory Coast will host the 2023 edition of the tournament in the early stages of 2024, due to the summer being a particularly hazardous rainy season in the west African nation.
Reigning champions Senegal enter the competition among the favourites to win again, though no team has banked consecutive AFCON titles since Egypt’s hat-trick between 2006 and 2010.
