AFCON-GABON: Cameroon to face Ghana in the last four

Nine years ago, the Indomitable Lions were beaten by Egypt, who face Burkina Faso in this year's other semi-final, in the showpiece and will be hoping to go one better after a 15-year wait for the African title. 

The five-time winners, who will host the 2019 AFCON, face Ghana in the last four. The Black Stars were beaten finalists two years ago, but their spell without winning the trophy goes back more than 30 years to 1982. 

DATE, UK START TIME AND VENUE

The first Afcon semi-final between Cameroon and Ghana takes place at the Stade de Franceville in Franceville on Thursday February 2. Kick-off is scheduled for 7pm UK time.
