South Africa looks to test themselves against one of the top teams on the African continent, when they open their campaign in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations “Group of Death” by facing 2015 champions Ivory Coast. The Ivory Coast coach said that they are building toward reclaiming the Cup of Nations title not this year, but in 2021, according to a report by The South African .
But for Bafana Bafana, taking a single point against The Elephants in a group that also includes Morocco — who took a surprisingly difficult 1-0 win over Namibia on Sunday — would likely be a satisfactory result that would keep them in position for advancement, starting in the match that will live stream Monday from Cairo.

Though Ivory Coast Coach Ibrahim Kamara said that a 2021 title is his team’s goal after the Côte D’Ivoire failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, it would appear that his players are less patient, according to BeIn Sports .
“We will go to [Egypt] to bring back the cup. We will give everything there,” said Ivory Coast forward Maxwel Cornet, who plays for French Ligue 1 club Lyon. “It’s for the whole people, a whole nation. Given the disillusionment after the non-qualification for the 2018 World Cup, we are really keen to show the Ivorians that they can all count on us.”
Captain Serge Aurier, who is reportedly on the transfer block and expected to leave UEFA Champions League runners-up Tottenham Hotspur, according to 90min , also said that his team’s plan is to win the AFCON tournament.
“Our ambition remains the same: have a good campaign, and why not, win the title as in 2015,” Aurier said, as quoted by Goal .
