2022 African Nations Championship knockout stage

The knockout stage of the 2022 African Nations Championship began on 27 January 2023 with the quarter-finals and ended with the final at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers on 4 February 2023.

All match times are local, WAT (UTC+1).

Format

[edit]

Except for the third place play-off, if a match is level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, 30 minutes of extra time will be played with two periods of 15 minutes each. If still tied after extra time, the match will be decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner. In the third place play-off, if the scores remained level after 90 minutes the match would go directly to a penalty shoot-out without extra time.
