African Nations Championship: Chan teams, fixtures, dates & venue

The sixth edition of the African Nations Championship is set to begin on January 16 2021, with the tournament pushed back from its original start date in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The 16-team tournament consists of four groups of four, with two teams advancing from each, before quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final.

2018 winners Morocco will be there to defend their title, and are among the hot favourites for the tournament, which is a hotly anticipated return to continental competition following a quiet year of international football in 2020 due to coronavirus.
