Nigeria vs South Africa

Description

A meeting of two imperious defences will decide the first entrant to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final, when South Africa and Nigeria meet on Wednesday. The Super Eagles have conceded just one goal at this AFCON and dispatched Angola in a tight game to qualify for the semi-finals. But Bafana Bafana matched their run of four consecutive clean sheets as goalkeeper Ronwen Williams delivered the heroics in their penalty shootout win over Cape Verde. Only once since their last Cup of Nations title, which came just over a decade ago, have Nigeria reached the last four - and they have lost five of their last six AFCON semi-finals. South Africa's wait stretches back even further, with no title since 1996 and this their first run to the last four since 2000. Date, kick-off time and venue Nigeria vs South Africa is scheduled for a 5pm GMT kick-off on Wednesday, February 7, 2024. The match will take place at Stade de la Paix in Bouake
