The 2019 African Cup of Nations, AFCON, the continent’s biggest football showpiece. 

The round of 16 was played leaving eight teams and the quarter-finals had narrowed the teams down to four.

The four team that qualified for the semi-final are: 

• The Teranga lions of Senegal
• The Super Eagles of Nigeria
• The The Foxes of Algeria and 
• The Carthage Eagles of Tunisia

Semi-final fixtures

• Winners meet in final slated for Friday July 19, 2019
• Losers will play in the third-place game on 17 July, 2019

The final could potentially be an all West African or all North African affair. It could also be a battle between the West and North – Africa’s perennial football power blocs.

Senegal is the only team that has yet to taste AFCON glory in the quartet. 

Nigeria have won it thrice whiles Algeria and Tunisia have each won it once.
