AFCON 2022 Quarterfinals: Matches, schedule, times, TV for Africa Cup of Nations knockout round

With the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations group stage on the books and the quarter-finals on the line, only eight of the original 24 teams will remain standing as we move into the quarter-finals.

With the defending champion eliminated in the group stage, this time there will be a new champion. he was also shockingly eliminated from contention before reaching the knockout round.

A few more heavyweights will also fail to make it to the quarterfinal stage: and they will meet in a round of 16 clash that will see one of those storied nations crash. Côte d’Ivoire have been seen as one of the best teams in the tournament so far, and the West African nation will be more motivated to prove their worth given their early exit from CAF World Cup Qualifying this cycle.

Additionally, they look to continue the Cinderella run, as both small nations surprisingly made it to the knockout round. Comoros in particular have a mountain to climb, facing in-form hosts in the round of 16 with no available goalkeepers due to an outbreak of COVID-19.

Below is the full schedule for the knockout round, including potential quarterfinal matchups.
