Calendário da Taça das Nações Africanas
June 21, 2019 - July 19, 2019 - A taça das Nações Africanas, o torneio bianual de futebol masculino de África, decorre no Egipto. A 32ª edição, organizada pela Confederação Africana de Futebol (CAF), assinala a expansão do formato para 24 seleções. Os Camarões, anfitriões originais, foram afastados no ano passado devido a atrasos na construção dos estádios e receios de segurança.
Host nation Egypt open the tournament against Zimbabwe in Cairo on June 21. Reigning champions Cameroon begin their campaign in Ismailia against Guinea-Bissau, while top ranked African nations Senegal and Tunisia kick-off their tournaments against Tanzania and Angola respectively.
Egypt are aiming to lift the Nations trophy for a record-extending eighth time, and deliver their first title since 2010. A total of 14 nations have triumphed since the first Africa Cup of Nations in 1957, including 2017 winners Cameroon (5-time champions) and Ghana (4-time champions), who are looking to win their first title since 1982.
A total of 52 matches will be played at six venues over four weeks, with the final taking place at the Cairo International Stadium on July 19.
