South Africa – Cape Verde will kick off on Saturday February 3 at 9 p.m., on beIN Sports 1 and live with commentary on leparisien.fr. The South Africans, winners of the 1996 edition organized at home, can reach the semi-finals of the CAN for the first time since 2000.

This would be the very first time. The Blue Sharks' best run dates back to 2013, with an elimination in the quarter-final of the tournament. Still undefeated in the competition this year, they finished at the top of their group with seven points.
