The CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2025 qualifying round enters its decisive phase as the final matchday kicked off on Sunday (India time). So far, 19 teams have booked a ticket to the Morocco Finals, scheduled from 21 December, 2025 to 18 January, 2026. (More Football News)
Comoros, Mali, Zambia, and Zimbabwe confirmed their respective spots last week, but the four-time champions Ghana were eliminated rather unceremoniously by already-qualified Angola following their 1-1 draw in a Group F clash on the penultimate match day. The Black Stars last failed to make the cut for the continental showpiece in 2004.
Both, defending champions Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) and Egypt, the most successful side, have already qualified for the AFCON 2025.
Teams qualified so far and their groups: Morocco and Gabon (Group B), Senegal and Burkina Faso (Group L), Cameroon and Zimbabwe (Group J), Algeria and Equatorial Guinea (Group E), DR Congo (Group H), Egypt (Group C), Angola (Group F), Zambia and Ivory Coast (Group G), South Africa and Uganda (Group K), Nigeria (Group D), Mali (Group I), Tunisia and Comoros (Group A).
Teams which can still make the trip to Morocco:
Botswana and Mauritania from Group C
Botswana are second with a two-point advantage over Cape Verde and Mauritania. But they face continental giants Egypt in a must-win away game. Mauritania can also finish second with a win over Cape Verde, who are already eliminated thanks to their negative head-to-head record against Botswana.
Libya and Rwanda from Group D
Libya can finish second if they beat Benin at home. Benin are currently in second spot but they will face immense pressure to secure a result. Rwanda also have an outside chance of qualifying but they are up against group leaders Nigeria, who have already qualified.
Sudan and Niger from Group F
Angola have already won the group and Ghana are eliminated, leaving Sudan and Niger fighting for the second spot. Niger visit Ghana while Sudan host Angola. A draw is enough for Sudan, who already have seven points. Niger need to beat Angola and hope for a Sudan defeat.
Guinea and Tanzania from Group H
While group winners DR Congo take on already eliminated Ethiopia in Kinshasa with very little at stake, third-placed Tanzania host second-placed Guinea in Dar es Salaam in a winner-takes-all match. But with a two-point lead, a stalemate is enough for Guinea. Tanzania won the reverse fixture 2-1.
Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique from Group I
The same script follows in Group I with Bissau playing host to an epic Lusophone clash between Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique. As things stand, Mozambique are second behind already-qualified Mali with eight points, but a defeat against Guinea-Bissau by a three-goal margin will end their campaign on a sour note. Mozambique won the reverse fixture 2-1 in September.
