Cape Verde takes on South Africa in the quarter finals and victory for them will take them into the semi finals, thr first in their history.

The highest Cape Verde had gone in the competition is the quarter finals in 2013 in South Africa where they got to the quarter finals. This is their fourth AFCON participation.
