How to watch Angola vs Zimbabwe: TV & streaming details as A to Z of African football aim to keep AFCON 2025 hopes alive

Watch Angola vs Zimbabwe at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations today, with FourFourTwo bringing you a comprehensive guide on live streams and TV coverage wherever you are in the world.

Lyle Foster's late winning goal for South Africa condemned AFCON 2010 hosts Angola to a defeat in their first Group B match.

The spectacularly mononymed Show had equalised in the first half but Angola must now aim for four points or better from their matches against Zimbabwe and Egypt.

It's no small ask. Zimbabwe were beaten by an even later goal against the Pharaohs, whose scorers were Omar Marmoush of Manchester City and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.

That's the size of the task now facing Angola while Zimbabwe, with Egypt out of the way, would be boosted massively by a win in Marrakech on Friday.

Read on as FourFourTwo brings you all the information on how to watch Angola vs Zimbabwe online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Angola vs Zimbabwe: Preview

Zimbabwe have returned to AFCON after they were excluded from the 2023 tournament because they were suspended at the time by FIFA.

That ended a sequence of three consecutive tournaments but Zimbabwe have not been frequent qualifiers. 2025 is just their sixth appearance.

The goal that put them ahead against Egypt was scored by 28-year-old Prince Dube, a striker whose entire career has been played in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Tanzania.

Macauley Bonne, the Ipswich-born Maldon & Tiptree striker, came off the bench to replace Washington Navaya at half time.

Patrice Beaumelle and Angola were hoping for a better start. They were AFCON quarter-finalists for the second time in 2023 and defeat to South Africa wasn't part of the plan.

Goalscorer Show is on loan in Turkey from Maccabi Haifa. Born in Luanda, the Angola midfielder had also played in Bulgaria, France, Portugal and the United States before his 26th birthday.

He's now collected a half-century of international caps but Show isn't known for his goals. Beaumelle will be pinning his hopes on the more experienced Gelson Dala and Mabululu to get the job done against Zimbabwe.

The first target for Angola this month is to match their previous tournament best by reaching the quarter-finals. They'd do well to make a start on that here.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Angola 1-0 Zimbabwe

Needs must for Angola and we're predicting a tight affair resolved by a single goal.
