The posters for the semi-finals, which will take place on Wednesday, are therefore known. Nigeria will challenge South Africa and Ivory Coast will face the DRC.

The final is scheduled for February 11, the day after the third place match on the 10th. These four nations have already lifted the trophy, three times for Nigeria (1980, 1994, 2013), two for Ivory Coast (1992, 2015) and the D Congo (1968, 1974) and one for South Africa (1996)
