CAF Moves Quarter Final Matches

Equatorial Guinea’s Af
rica Cup of Nations quarter-final against Tunisia has been moved from Ebebiyin to Bata, to be played on Saturday at 5.00p.m.
And Sunday’s quarter-final between the Group C winners and Group D runners-up has moved from Mongomo to Malabo.
That match will kick off at 5.00p.m, which means the remaining quarter-final, also taking place in Malabo, has been pushed back to start at 8.30p.m.
Deteriorating pitches in Ebebiyin and Mongomo prompted the switch.
The Confederation of African Football said in a statement “the two pitches (in Ebebiyin and Monogo) have been adversely affected by combination of wear and tear from the six games played or to be played in each of them and the unstable weather conditions seen lately”.
It added: “The eight teams qualified for the quarter-final stages onwards should be given the opportunity to play on grounds that provide the highest standards, specifically those of Bata and Malabo, to ensure the quality of play remains at the highest possible level.”
