CAN 2025: Today’s Matches – Tunisia, Senegal & DR Congo

The 2025 African Cup of Nations continues this Tuesday, December 30 with the third and final day of the group stage for groups C and D. With a particularity until the end of the first round, the two matches in the same group are played at the same time.

Qualified with six points, including three obtained after an eventful meeting against Tunisia, Nigeria (1st, 6 points) will play their last match with first place already in their pocket against Uganda (4th, 1 point), who can still dream of a ticket for the round of 16 if successful.

At the same time in the other match of this group C, the stakes will be higher between Tunisia (2nd, 3 points) and Tanzania (3rd, 1 point). The Eagles of Carthage are logically big favorites, but watch out for Tanzania who are still looking for their first victory in their history in the African Cup of Nations.

Group C (5 p.m.)

Tanzania – Tunisia

Ouganda – Nigeria

Group D (20 hours)

Benin – Senegal

Botswana – RD Congo

In group D, Benin (3rd, 3 points) and Senegal (2nd, 4 points) are neck and neck in the standings and will compete for a place among the first two in the group, synonymous with qualification for the final phase of the competition.

The task could be easier for the Democratic Republic of Congo (2nd, 4 points), which faces Botswana (4th, 0 points), the first nation eliminated from the competition with no unity and especially no goals scored in two matches. Note that the second in this group will face Algeria in the round of 16.
