The 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, currently taking place in Ivory Coast, witnessed the participation of five Arab teams in the continental championship.
After two rounds and the beginning of the third, the results of the five Arab knights varied in the most prestigious African national team tournament.
The Mauritanian national team bid farewell to the competition after just two rounds.
Meanwhile, Egypt secured their place in the Round of 16, and Algeria is awaiting their match against Mauritania to join Egypt.
The task for the Tunisian national team seems challenging against South Africa, as nothing but a win will secure their spot.
The Departure of the Mourabitoun
The match tomorrow between the Mauritanian national team and their Algerian counterparts appears to be a foregone conclusion after their defeats in the first two matches in Group Four of the African Cup of Nations.
They currently sit at the bottom of the group with zero points, officially exiting the tournament prematurely.
Angola leads Group Four with 4 points, followed by Burkina Faso with the same tally.
Algeria is in third place with 2 points. The Mauritanian team suffered a defeat in their first match against Burkina Faso with a goal to nil.
In the second match, they lost to Angola with a score of 3-2.
In the event of a victory for the Mauritanian national team against the Algerian team in the match scheduled for tomorrow, the Mourabitoun will accumulate 3 points.
Algeria will remain at 2 points, leading to the elimination of both teams from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Angola and Burkina Faso will then secure the two tickets to the Round of 16.
