How to watch today's Ivory Coast vs Burkina Faso Africa Cup of Nations game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

West African rivals Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso slug it out for a place in the AFCON 2025 quarter-finals.  

Ivory Coast, holders and three-time champions, relied on the Manchester United winger for their goals in a 1-0 win over Mozambique and a 1-1 draw against Cameroon. The Ivorians also showed their character in the final group game, clawing back an early 2-0 deficit to eventually beat Gabon 3-2. Istanbul Basaksehir left-back Christopher Operi got two assists in that game. 

Burkina Faso will likely field an English-flavoured attack with Brentford's Dango Ouattara and Sunderland's Bertrand Traore looking to cause danger on the flanks. 

Shakhtar Donetsk striker, 24-year-old Lassina Traore, could lead the line for the Burkinabe after scoring against Sudan.
