Ivory Coast are heading for a quarter-final match with the hosts Algeria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The quarter-final line-up for the African Nations Championship has guaranteed the trophy will be going to a first-time winner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

After the group stage, all the previous winners are out of the race for the title.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While the two-time winners Morocco decided to <\/span> withdraw on the eve of the tournament<\/span><\/a>, DR Congo – winner in 2009 and 2016 – could not qualify out of Group C, with two draws and a 3-0 defeat to Senegal in their last game.<\/span><\/p>\n

In their first appearance in the CHAN – the international pan-African tournament for players who play within the continent – for 12 years, the Teranga Lions will face Mauritania in the quarter-finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

In topping Group D, Mauritania qualified for the knock-out stage of the finals of an African competition for the very first time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another team to accomplish the same feat is Mozambique in Group A, where they finished behind the host Algeria – the only nation with three wins – and ahead of 2014 winners Libya.<\/span><\/p>\n

They will play another team having an unexpectedly successful tournament, Madagascar – led by their coach Romuald Rakotondrabe, who goes by the nickname of the “Malagasy Mourinho.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Madagascans topped a group that included two-time finalists Ghana – who at least managed to take second place thanks to a win against Sudan, who were eliminated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Niger will be an unexpected opponent for the Ghanaians after they secured the only qualifying spot of the three-team Group E ahead of Cameroon and Congo.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
