Upcoming Football Matches | Football Schedule

Often considered one of the major nations in African football, Egypt has however not won the African Cup of Nations since the 2010 edition. An eternity for this team which will be expected at a much better level than in 2023 when it was eliminated in the 1/8 finals. The Pharaohs had no problem qualifying for this 2025 edition by finishing at the top of their group ahead of Botswana, Mauritania and Cape Verde. They then finished as leader of their World Cup qualifiers ahead of Bukina Faso, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau, Ethiopia and Djibouti to validate their ticket to America. If the Egyptians had not shone during their last international gathering by losing to Uzbekistan 2-0 then being held in check by Cape Verde 1-1 during 2 friendly matches, they won their final preparation match on Tuesday at home against a diminished Nigeria 2-1. Zimbabwe, for its part, is far from being a reference on a continental scale and even less globally.

Indeed, this selection has never played in the slightest World Cup and it has also not made it past the group stage during its first 5 participations in an African Cup of Nations. To reach this 2025 edition, Michael Nees' men took 2nd place in their group behind Cameroon but ahead of Kenya and Namibia. The Warriors, on the other hand, experienced a nightmare during their qualifiers for the World Cup, finishing last in their group behind South Africa, Nigeria, Benin, Lesotho and Rwanda, without the slightest victory on the clock after 10 matches. Last month, the 129th nation in the FIFA rankings lost in a friendly against Algeria 3-1 but found a smile again a few days later by defeating Qatar 1-2.

Mali has a history of quality at the heart of this African Cup of Nations, having reached the last four 6 times in its history. Exited from the tournament in the groups in 2015 and 2017, Mali reached the round of 16 stage during the last two editions and will, of course, try to take a step forward by reaching the quarter-finals. This Malian selection, however, experienced a real disappointment during the World Cup qualifiers, finishing 3rd with 18 points, 1 point behind Madagascar and quite far from Ghana (25 points). Winner of the CAN in 2012, Zambia built on years of good performances, notably at the end of the 90s without ever managing to win it. From now on, we must find consistency for the Zambians who have not passed the group stages since this coronation in 2012.

Worse still, during the 2017, 2019 and 2021 editions, Zambia did not even manage to qualify to participate in the competition. Like Mali, the Chipolopolo did not obtain their ticket for the World Cup, finishing only fourth in their group, far behind Niger and Morocco. On Tuesday, the Zambians were defeated in a preparation friendly played in Spain against the DRC 2-0.

Semi-finalist of the last edition of this CAN 2 years ago, South Africa ended up taking 3rd place at the end of the small final after its victory on penalties against the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since then, the 61st nation in the FIFA rankings qualified quite easily for this CAN by finishing first in its group ahead of Uganda, Congo and South Sudan. They then won their ticket for the next World Cup by beating Nigeria, Benin, Lesotho, Rwanda and Zimbabwe, notably with a final big success against Rwanda 3-0. Last month, Bafana Bafana gained confidence by beating Zambia in a 3-1 friendly match. Unlike its opponent of the day, Angola will not play in the next World Cup.

Quite far from the score, Patrice Beaumelle's men only took 4th place in their group behind Cape Verde, Cameroon and Libya and only ahead of Mauritius and Eswatini. On the other hand, the 89th nation in the world distinguished itself by taking 1st place in its qualifiers for this CAN ahead of Sudan, Niger and Ghana. Last month, the Antelopes Noires played 2 friendly matches. Beaten by world champions Argentina 2-0, they then dominated Zambia 3-2.

Fulham are currently 14th in the Premier League and are 7 points ahead of the first relegation team. The objective of the London training is to avoid being frightened in the race to maintain. The Cottagers have recently distanced themselves from the red zone by gleaning 4 successes in the last 7 days, for 3 defeats. After suffering the law of Manchester City 4-5 and Crystal Palace 1-2, they reacted by winning at Burnley last weekend 2-3. This week, Fulham lost to Newcastle in the quarter-final of the League Cup 2-1. A nice surprise from the previous year, Nottingham Forest are less to their advantage this season and today occupy 16th place in the Premier League with 2 units of spending on their opponent of the day.

Morgan Gibbs-White's teammates have been in better spirits since Sean Dyche's arrival on the bench. Indeed, they have won 4 of their last 6 championship matches, losing 2. Dryly beaten on the Everton pitch 3-0, Nottingham Forest then outclassed Tottenham last weekend 3-0. 11th in the Europa League, Nottingham Forest are 2 points behind 8th place.

9th with 17 points, Alverca finally seemed to get back on a good footing by stringing together two successes against Casa Pia 0-2 and Nacional 1-0, but during the previous day, the promoted team fell back into its old ways by losing on the pitch of Arouca 1-0, little helped by the expulsion of its attacker in the 22nd minute of play. In the last 8 matches played in all competitions, Alverca lost to five times including two other defeats in the league against Sporting 2-0 and Gil Vicente at home 0-4. There was also a defeat in the quarter-final of the League Cup against Sporting 5-1 and in the Portuguese Cup against Leiria after the fateful penalty shootout. On the other side of the median, we find 2004 Champions League winners Porto, insatiable on the national scene this season. Under Farioli's leadership, the Dragons are hungry and have not lost a single match in the top flight, with an exemplary record of 13 wins and 1 draw.

Their only defeats this season were in the League Cup against Guimaraes 1-3 and in the Europa League at Nottingham Forest 2-0. During the week, aware that it had prevented it from being eliminated from another domestic competition, Porto defiled Famalicao in the 1/8 finals of the Portuguese Cup 4-1 a few days after its victory in the league against Estrela 3-1. Before that, Porto had already extinguished Malmö in C3 with a 2-1 victory as well as Tondela in the championship 0-2. In all competitions, the visiting team has won eight of its last ten matches.

Benfica, 3rd in the elite, has some ways to catch up on Sporting 2nd and Porto leader. We must string together victories like pearls for Jose Mourinho's men who have not had an excellent start to the season this year. But since a final defeat in the Champions League in November against Leverkusen, the Luz players have simply not known defeat, thus stacking up eight matches in all competitions without a setback. At the heart of this series, there are 6 victories, including one as recently as last week, during a 1/8 final of the Portuguese Cup against Farense 0-2. Before that, Benfica had laid the table on Moreirense in the league victory 0-4 and served coffee to Napoli in the Champions League 2-0.

Last week, as part of a 1/8th final of the Portuguese Cup on the pitch of Porto, Famalicao suffered a 4-1 defeat. A few weeks earlier, Famalicao had already conceded a defeat against the same Porto, less rough all the same and in the 0-1 championship. In the league in fact, the visiting team has only won one of its last four matches, it was during the previous day for the reception of Estoril 4-0, which it had just beaten in the 1/16th final of the Portuguese Cup 4-0. 6th in the elite at the start of this day, Famalicao has not given up in the fight for the race for Europe.

Athletic is unrecognizable compared to last season but remains, even from a distance, a serious candidate for the race for the top 6 in La Liga. Ernesto Valverde's men even found a smile again by winning two of their last three meetings against Levante 0-2 and Atlético Madrid 1-0. In the meantime, the Basques had collapsed at home against Real Madrid 0-3. Last weekend, after a goalless draw in the Champions League against PSG 0-0, the Lions returned to their troubles on the turf of Celta Vigo 2-0. During the week, in a competition that he particularly likes, Athletic Bilbao traveled to Ourense in the Copa del Rey, result to come.

Espanyol Barcelona is the nice surprise of this first part of the La Liga season. 5th at the start of this day, the Catalan team had experienced a moment of doubt between September 20 and October 5, 4 days without a victory including 2 defeats but the period of doubt quickly diminished with no less than 6 victories during the last 8 performances in the elite. Last weekend, Espanyol simply piled up a fourth victory in a row in La Liga by beating Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez 0-1. Before that, Rayo Vallecano 1-0, Celta Vigo at Balaidos 0-1 and Sevilla FC 2-1 were all added to the Catalans' hunting table.

Istanbul Basaksehir occupied 8th place in the SuperLig at the start of this 17th day, 3 lengths behind their opponent of the day. In recent weeks, the results have responded favorably with no less than 4 victories in the last 6 league games. Against Antalyaspor 0-4, Kocaelispor 1-0, Kasimpasa 1-3 and on the previous day on Samsunspor turf 0-2. On the other hand, note the defeat last Thursday during the first day of the group stage of the Turkish Cup against Galatasaray 1-0.

 Opposite, Gaziantep is playing at the top of the table this season unlike other years. But compared to Basaksehir, it's a bit of a grimace soup for GFK, who have won only one of their last seven matches in the league including three defeats at home against Fenerbahce 0-4, Eyupspor 1-2 and during the previous day for the reception of the well ranked Goztepe 0-1. Last Wednesday, as part of the first day of the Turkish Cup, Gaziantep succumbed to the charm of Rizespor defeat 5-2.

Competitor from the bottom of the table, the promoted Genclerbirligi got an excellent point from the draw on the pitch of the Kasimpasa Apaches during the previous 0-0 day. Before that, the local team had rediscovered the taste of victory by winning very clearly at home against Karagümrük 3-0, thus stopping the two successive defeats against Kocaelispor 1-0 and Galatasaray 3-2. Last week, as part of the first day of the group stage of the Turkish Cup, Genclerbirligi took the scalp of Bodrumspor, former resident of D1 3-2. Installed on the podium of the SuperLig, Trabzonspor 3rd is clearly in the thick of the matter in the title race.

The former Turkish champion has not lost since September 14 in the championship, going 11 days without the slightest defeat for a record of 7 victories. Victorious in three of its last four league matches on the Basaksehir pitch 3-4, at home against Konyaspor 3-1 and against Goztepe 1-2, Trabzonspor missed out on four against Besiktas on the previous day 3-3. Last week, in the Turkish Cup, the Trazbon residents fell into the trap of Alanyaspor 0-1.

Winner of the African Cup of Nations three times in its history (1980, 1994 and 2013), Nigeria is a leader of the Continent. During the last edition played in 2023, this juggernaut had a very good run but fell in the final against the organizing country, Cote d'Ivoire 1-2. In order to qualify for this CAN 2025, the Super Eagles enforced the hierarchy to take 1st place in Group D, ahead of Benin, Rwanda and Libya. On the other hand, they experienced great disillusionment last November. Forced to go through the qualifying play-offs for the 2026 World Cup, Nigeria first dominated Gabon 4-1 after extra time before seeing its World Cup dreams disappear against the Democratic Republic of Congo 1-1, elimination following penalties. On Tuesday, Nigeria played and lost a friendly match in Egypt 2-1 but the Eagles were diminished. Not really used to shining on the international scene, Tanzania will only play the 4th African Cup of Nations in its history after 1980, 2019 and 2023.

It has not yet won a single match in this competition. During the qualifications for this 2025 edition, the Taifa Stars finished in 2nd place in their group, behind the Democratic Republic of Congo. They made the difference during the last two days with successes against Ethiopia 0-2 and Guinea 1-0. Engaged in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup subsequently, Tanzania did not create the feat and was beaten by Morocco and Niger in group E. The selection will therefore not play the first World Cup in its history. Last November, Tanzania lost two hard-fought friendly matches against Iran 2-0 and Kuwait 4-3.

Senegal is seeking a second continental crown, two years after leaving in the round of 16. The current period is favorable to performance for the Lions of Teranga, winners of 5 of their last 6 matches in all competitions. They logically qualified for a third World Cup in a row and prepared for the CAN with friendly matches played last month. If they were no match for Brazil 2-0, Pape Thiaw's players took out their nerves against Kenya three days later 8-0. Second in its qualifying group behind Egypt, Botswana is the surprise guest and the little thumb of this African Cup of Nations.

The 138th selection in the FIFA rankings, which is preparing to compete in the competition for the second time, will however have to wait before entering a World Cup final phase. She finished in penultimate position in her qualifying group dominated by Algeria. The Zebras, however, regained momentum in October against Guinea 3-0 to end a series of 3 defeats. This is their last match to date.

Winner of the African Cup of Nations in 2004, Tunisia has not gone beyond the quarter-finals since and was even eliminated in the group stage during the previous edition played in 2023. In order to qualify for this CAN 2025, the Carthage Eagles finished in 2nd place in group A, behind the Comoros but ahead of the Gambia. Engaged in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup subsequently, they validated their ticket for a third World Cup in a row. Without blinking an eye, Tunisia easily outpaced its opponents with a record of 9 wins and 1 draw. Last November, Tunisia played three friendly matches 1 victory and 2 draws and notably held off Brazil 1-1.8th finalist of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, Uganda then missed in 2021 and 2023.

The selection did not tremble to ensure its presence in this CAN 2025. Indeed, it finished in 2nd place in group K, just behind South Africa but far ahead of Congo and South Sudan. Subsequently, the Cranes did not manage to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Without merit, they had to settle for 2nd place in their group 6 wins and 4 defeats, behind Algeria. Engaged in two friendlies in November, Uganda first beat Chad 2-1 before being defeated by Morocco 4-0.

Guimaraes experienced real disillusionment last week when he lost in the 1/8 finals of the Portuguese Cup against the current bottom of the championship, AFS 0-1. As a reminder, AFS has not won any match in the league this season. Before this setback in the Portuguese Cup, the local team had not lost for six games in all competitions including five victories and three in the league against Rio Ave on the previous day 0-1, against AFS precisely 4-0 and on the Tondela turf 0-1. In the standings, the Vitorianos are 7th with 5 lengths behind the top 4. Reigning Portuguese champion, Sporting is sticking its tongue out while trying to follow the frantic pace of Porto in the back-to-back race.

And we might as well say it, what the Lions achieve by being only five lengths behind Porto while the latter has won 13 of its 14 days, is great art. The residents of José Alvalade trembled in the Portuguese Cup but were not eliminated by beating Santa Clara last week after extra time 2-3. Five days earlier, in the championship, Sporting defeated AFS 6-0. Finally, the only defeat in the league dates from 08/30, against the Porto Dragons.

Algeria must aim for the title in this CAN 2025. It has now been three editions in a row that the Fennecs have no longer progressed through the groups. In addition, this African Cup of Nations will serve as a springboard for the 2026 World Cup where Algeria will cross swords with Austria and Argentina in particular. In 10 days, Algeria simply collected 25 points out of 30 possible for a record of 24 goals scored 2.4 goals on average.

 Sudan, since 2012 and its participation in a quarter-final of the CAN, has no longer reached this stage of the competition. From 2013 to 2019, Sudan no longer managed to qualify for the African Cup and found the pleasure of playing in 2021 but exited in the group stage. Ditto in 2023 in Ivory Coast. During World Cup qualifying, the Sudanese finished 3rd with just 13 points, far behind Senegal and the DRC and scoring no goals in their last four matches.

Burkina Faso has had good performances for several years in the African Cup of Nations. Finalist in 2013, 3rd in 2017, 4th in 2021, it's almost quite strange to have seen her stop at the round of 16 stage in 2023 in Ivory Coast. This year, the Burkinabés will try to take their first title in the edition. It should be noted that despite a very good end to the World Cup qualifying campaign, Burkina Faso did not manage to climb among the 4 best 2nd groups to compete in the play-offs. In November, this selection participated in two friendly matches, won against Niger 3-2 and Benin 3-0.

 In its last 4 appearances in the African Cup of Nations, Equatorial Guinea has always passed the group stage, reaching the quarter-finals in 2012, 4th place in 2015, the quarter-finals in 2021 and the round of 16 in 2023. Obviously, this selection will try not to deviate from the rule by making a nice epic in this edition. In November, like Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea participated in two friendlies including a victory by the narrowest of margins against Kenya 0-1 and a defeat against the Malagasy 2-0. 5th in its World Cup qualifying group, we will have to wait a little longer to see the Nacional Thunder qualify for a World Cup.

The crisis that Cameroon is going through is deep. Indeed, coach Marc Brys was unceremoniously dismissed by his president, Samuel Eto'o, who preferred to appoint David Pagou as head of the team just a few weeks before the start of this competition. Consequently, the Indomitable Lions clearly lacked the serenity to concentrate on this tournament, especially since on a sporting level, they are also in difficulty. As proof, the Cameroonians failed to qualify for the World Cup by losing 1-0 in the semi-final of the play-offs against the Democratic Republic of Congo last month. Before that, they had taken 2nd place in their group behind Cape Verde but ahead of Libya, Angola, Mauritius and Eswatini.

 Gabon, for its part, will not participate in the next World Cup either. 2nd in their group during the qualifiers behind Ivory Coast, Aubameyang's partners were beaten in the play-off semi-finals by Nigeria 4-1 last month. A real disappointment for the Squirrels who had nevertheless won 8 of their 10 matches during their qualifying campaign, including those in October against Gambia 3-4 and Burundi 2-0. Absent from the last CAN, the Gabonese hope to make a difference this year by at least getting out of this fairly tough group.

Sacred in front of its public 2 years ago, Côte d'Ivoire begins the defense of its African champion title this Tuesday against Mozambique. The Ivorians did not particularly convince observers during the qualifiers by only taking 2nd place in their group behind Zambia and only ahead of Sierra Leone and Chad. On the other hand, the Elephants were more solid during the qualifiers for the next World Cup where they beat Gabon, Gambia, Kenya, Burundi and Seychelles with a record of 8 wins for 2 defeats. In November, the Ivorians were beaten by Saudi Arabia in a friendly match 1-0 before recovering against Oman a few days later 0-2. Mozambique, for its part, has never been able to go beyond the group stage in this African Cup of Nations in 4 participations, the last of which dates back to 2023.

To qualify this year, this selection took 2nd place in its group behind Mali but ahead of Guinea-Bissau and Eswatini. However, it was more difficult during the qualifiers for the World Cup with a 3rd place behind Algeria and Uganda but ahead of Guinea, Botswana and Somalia. As a result, the Mambas will not play in the next World Cup. During the last meeting, Mozambique was beaten by Morocco 1-0 and was unable to defeat Chad 2-2 in 2 friendly matches.
