Kick-off: December 31, 2025, at 21:00.

In the third round of the Africa Cup of Nations, a match between Gabon and Côte d’Ivoire will take place at the Stade de Marrakech. The situation in the group ahead of the final round has turned disastrous for Gabon: after two consecutive defeats, it has already lost its chances of reaching the playoffs. At the same time, the reigning continental champion is confidently leading with four points and intends to build on its success. The head-to-head history includes twelve matches, in which the visitors have claimed seven victories, while Gabon has managed to defeat the favorite only three times.

Gabon’s national team has disappointed its fans at this tournament, remaining without any points after matches against Cameroon, 0-1, and Mozambique, 2-3. In the high-scoring shootout with Mozambique, goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Moucketou-Moussounda were not enough to save it from elimination. The final meeting with Côte d’Ivoire will give the team a chance to redeem itself for a failed campaign and bow out loudly before leaving the tournament in Morocco.

Côte d’Ivoire, under the guidance of Emerse Faé, continues to show stability and a champion’s mentality. After opening with a 1-0 win over Mozambique, it drew 1-1 with Cameroon in the second round, with the outcome decided by an own goal from Ghislain Konan. The team’s unbeaten run in official matches has lasted for more than a year, and a victory over the group’s outsider will allow it to advance to the Round of 16 from first place. It boasts a powerful squad and has no intention of slipping up against a demoralized opponent.
