Other fixtures are scheduled between 3 and 4pm, including a Nigeria-Madagascar match well worth watching. However, at 7pm, several interesting games are on the agenda. Morocco, Africa's champions by administrative decision, will kick off their campaign by hosting Gabon, who will be looking to build new momentum.
Burkina Faso, meanwhile, host Benin in a highly enticing West African derby, while in Hemdani's debut, Algeria will face Zambia in Group I. The Fennecs will be without Riyad Mahrez, now retired.
