AFCON: Latest News, Fixtures & Live Updates

Africa Cup of Nations matters to millions — and this tag page brings you the most useful AFCON coverage in one place. Here you'll find match reports, fixture lists, squad updates, live scores and quick analysis so you know what happened and why it matters.

Expect timely reports on results, injury news, coach comments and key stats. We sort the noise so you can catch the score, check lineups, or read a short rundown before the next kick-off.

How to follow matches

Want to watch live? First check which broadcaster holds rights in your country — national TV and major sports apps usually carry the games. If TV isn't an option, use official streaming services listed on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) site or follow live text coverage from reliable apps like FlashScore or the CAF match centre.

Follow official team accounts and CAF on social platforms for real-time lineups and injury updates. Turn on notifications for the teams you care about so you get starting XIs, substitutions and score updates without hunting around.

Tickets, travel and stadium tips

Buying tickets? Use the host organiser’s official portal or approved vendors only — avoid resale sites with unclear policies. Check ID and entry rules before you go: some stadiums require printed tickets, others accept mobile passes. Arrive early to avoid queues and to pass security checks calmly.

If you're travelling for games, check the host country’s entry rules, visa needs and local health advice. Plan transport from your accommodation to the stadium and leave time for traffic. Keep a charged phone, a power bank, and only the cash or cards you need — and be mindful of pickpockets in crowded areas.

For away fans, wear team colours responsibly and follow local advice on fan zones and safe gathering spots.

Following squads and team news

Squad lists and late changes come from national federations and coach press conferences. Want the quickest update? National FA Twitter/X pages, CAF releases and post-match interviews are best. When you see injury reports, check multiple sources before assuming a player is out — official medical updates matter most.

Reading the numbers

Use form and head-to-head records to make sense of predictions. Look at recent results, goals scored/conceded and home vs away form. Stats give context, but football is unpredictable — an underdog can still surprise.

Need a quick hack for live tracking? Open one live score app, one stats page and the official team account. That combo gets you the score, who’s on the pitch, and why coaches are making changes.
