On Saturday and Sunday we will watch the quarter-finals of the African Nations Cup. On Saturday, Gambia and Cameroon as well as Burkina Faso and Tunisia will play against each other. On Sunday we will have matches between Egypt and Morocco and Senegal with Equatorial Guinea.
A very unusual event happened on Friday, at a press conference before the Burkina Faso – Tunisia match. This was delayed by a dozen or so minutes due to a strange event.
What? It turned out that just before the meeting with journalists, an unknown man stole microphones and cables. As it turned out later, the thief was the owner of the equipment, who wanted to protest in this unusual way.

Against whom? The tournament organizer, the African Football Federation (CAF), which has yet to pay the money owed to it. Despite unusual technical problems, the conference finally took place.
– On Friday morning the president of our country contacted us and said that our compatriots are proud of us. Although no one is expecting this from us, we must do everything we can to not only win this quarter-final, but also reach the final, said Burkina Faso coach Kamou Malo.
Burkina Faso has never won the African Nations Cup. In 2013, the team lost 0-1 to Nigeria in their only ever final. Saturday’s meeting between Burkina Faso and Tunisia will be held on Saturday at 20:00 in the Cameroon city of Garoua.
