How to watch Ivory Coast vs Cameroon: Live streams, TV coverage, preview as defending champions pursue a place in AFCON 2025 last 16

Watch Ivory Coast vs Cameroon at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations today, as FourFourTwo brings you a comprehensive guide on live streams and TV coverage wherever you are in the world.

Sunday's late game in the AFCON 2025 group stage is arguably the competition's first great clash of the titans.

This mouth-watering encounter between two of the true giants of the CAF confederation is too close to call and the first group fixtures played by Ivory Coast and Cameroon offered precious little indication of what to expect in Marrakech.

Ivory Coast defeated Mozambique by a single Amad Diallo goal and never looked quite at their best.

Cameroon beat Gabon by the same margin and were no more convincing than the reigning champions.

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

Ivory Coast vs Cameroon: Preview

Amad was a threat throughout the Elephants' opening game and scored the winning goal early in the second half.

Yan Diomande caused problems on the left wing, while Wilfried Zaha was heavily involved in attacking areas and will expect to have a bigger direct impact on the outcome if he can do the same again.

Ivory Coast have been a powerful force in the Africa Cup of Nations for decades and are on the hunt for their fourth title.

Their last failure to qualify was for AFCON 2004 and they've failed to progress beyond the group stage only once in the subsequent years.

The Elephants won the last tournament on their own territory despite being the lowest-ranked of the third-placed teams to qualify for the round of 16.

They defeated Nigeria in the final and it was the Super Eagles who saw off Cameroon in the last 16 in Abidjan.

Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations pedigree is beyond question. Only Egypt have won the competition more times than the Indomitable Lions, who are looking for their sixth win.

If they played within themselves in victory against Gabon, new head coach David Pagou will be desperate to see a more eye-catching performance and, in the controversial absence of Vincent Aboubakar, some teeth to go with the roar.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Ivory Coast 1-1 Cameroon

FourFourTwo expects a close-run thing in Marrakech and if neither of these teams finds a higher gear they could both end up dropping points.
