Nigeria vs Algeria

We are back to the unfinished business

Riyad Mahrez

Riyad Mahrez Algerian side will have their hands full when they come up against Nigeria

Nigeria will be ready to settle scores with Algeria

We hope to see Osimhen and lookman back to their devastating form

Old rivalry. Given our recent scoring form, we should beat Algeria if only our backline can stop them from scoring.

The head to head record favours Algeria !

What an interesting game we have on our hands

It will be a free flowing game. Not DR Congo that Park the bus

2026 Quarter finals

Mali vs Senegal

Egypt vs Ivory Coast

Nigeria vs Algeria

Cameroon vs Morocco



It's west Africa vs North Africa

It's a battle between the 2 power blocks of African football.

WEST AFRICA vs NORTH AFRICA.

Authentic black Africa vs Arab Africa.

No idea where the cup will go to. It will be interesting from now on. I just hope the right referees are chosen.

How i wish they can bring Referees from Europe or South America. But CAF would feel insulted. I don't trust these North Africans with their on the pitch acting and tricks. 'Maka' cheap penalties.

Seven past winners are in the quarter-finals, so one of them is likely to add to their title tally.

This might just be the last bus stop

Apart from 1980, we have not been lucky with this fixture in afcon

Cameroon is fully West African! Please verify

The toughest game not to miss is Cameron vs morroco. Then followed by Nigeria vs Algeria. Then CIV vs Egypt. These 3 matches can go any way. No country can boast of winning

1980 cup finals, we won by 3-0.

Oh dear God! Please help us to win this stage! Let our team be in unity and in strength…

Congratulations to Nigeria if all work well we are in for semis

NO. THEY ARE NOT SIR. Cameroon is part of Central Africa Region.

platymus:

i no fear algeria na our internal crisis i fear pass

LEXYLOV:
NO. THEY ARE NOT SIR. Cameroon is part of Central Africa Region.

Arguments for West Africa:
Geographic Proximity: [/b]It shares a long border with Nigeria and has a significant Atlantic coastline on the Gulf of Guinea, placing it physically near West Africa.

[b]Cultural Influences: Its history and culture show strong ties and influences from its Western neighbors, especially Nigeria.

"West-Central" Classification: Many sources identify it as being at the interface or junction of West and Central Africa.

Arguments for Central Africa:
Political Affiliation: Cameroon is a key member of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC), a major regional bloc, rather than ECOWAS (West Africa).

Internal Division: Some even see its Anglophone regions as culturally West African and its Francophone regions as Central African.

LEXYLOV:
NO. THEY ARE NOT SIR. Cameroon is part of Central Africa Region.

Yes, but they are still part of sub Saharan Africa

Nigeria 2-1 Algeria or 3-2 for Nigeria. Wishing our boys the win in the game. Let’s avenge 2019 semifinal loss . Up Nigeria

Make we no allow Ryan Mahrez score the kind freekick wey him score us 2 sessions ago..ooo.

It's gonna be a tough match for sure

End of the road for super chickens
