How to watch today's Senegal vs Sudan Africa Cup of Nations game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Senegal will look to underline their status as Africa Cup of Nations contenders when they face Sudan in the knockout stage, with a place in the quarter-finals at stake. The Round of 16 clash between The Lions of Teranga and the Falcons of Jediane will take place at the Ibn Batouta Stadium in Tangier today.  

On paper, the tie appears one-sided, but tournament football has a habit of rewarding resilience as much as reputation. Senegal finished top of Group D, unbeaten with two wins and a draw, showcasing both attacking punch and defensive organisation. It is for this reason that The Lions of Teranga are among the tournament favourites, especially given the talent they possess in their squad.

Players like Sadio Mané, Iliman Ndiaye, Ismaïla Sarr, and Nicolas Jackson give Senegal avenues to score at any moment of the game. They conceded just once in the group phase, ranking among the more disciplined sides, and will surely look to get even stingier in the knockout stages.

Sudan, meanwhile, didn’t find passage to the knockouts as easily as their opponents, enduring a tough group campaign which included two defeats. Their journey to the Round of 16 has been defined by resilience amid extremely challenging conditions back home, where civil conflict has severely affected the country. Coach Kwesi Appiah and his squad view this match not just as a game of football but as a symbol of unity and hope for the Sudanese people enduring hardship
