Sportdigital will air eight matches live, beginning with the quarter-finals on 18 July and culminating in the final on 26 July.
Twelve national teams have been battling it out in Morocco since 5 July for the prestigious continental title. Sportdigital joins the action from the quarter-finals onwards, showing all four matches across Friday and Saturday via its streaming app Sportdigital+.
