Kick-off: December 31, 2025, at 18:00.

In the third round of the Africa Cup of Nations, a match between Sudan and Burkina Faso will take place at the Stade Mohamed V in Casablanca. This will be only the second head-to-head meeting between the teams at the tournament: the first one was held in 2012 and ended with a 2-1 victory for Sudan. At the moment, both national teams still have chances of reaching the playoffs, which effectively turns their clash in Morocco into a knockout game. The winner will secure a place in the Round of 16, while a draw will force the teams to wait for the outcomes in other groups.

Sudan managed to bounce back after a painful defeat to Algeria in the opening match of the tournament, 3-0. In the second round, it showed character and pragmatism, defeating Equatorial Guinea thanks to an own goal by the opponent, 0-1. That victory became a rare success for Sudan at the final stages of the continental championship — only its second win in the last twelve matches. The team relies on disciplined defending and will look to contain the opponent’s attacking potential, hoping to capitalize on counterattacks.

Burkina Faso is considered the favorite in the battle for second place in the group. It opened the tournament with an impressive comeback win over Equatorial Guinea, 2-1, but then suffered a narrow defeat to a powerful Algeria, 1-0. That loss ended the team’s impressive run of seven matches without defeat, but it did not undermine its confidence. With a more experienced and well-balanced squad, Burkina Faso is aiming for a victory that would allow it to advance from the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations for the fourth consecutive time.
