TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations
According to CAFonline, following the draw of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 Qualifiers held in Johannesburg last week, CAF has confirmed the official fixtures of all the qualifiers set to occur between September and November 2024.
Forty-eight nations have been drawn into 12 groups of 4, with the top two finishers in the eleven (11) groups that do not involve tournament hosts Morocco set to qualify for the competition.
The draw produced some interesting match-ups to determine the final 24 teams that will contest the 35th edition of Africa’s biggest sporting spectacle set to take place in the North African nation between 21 December and 18 January.
The recent edition in Cote d’Ivoire reaffirmed the growing standard of African football, which is at an all-time high across all matches.
Looking at some of the fixtures, reigning champions Cote d’Ivoire will kick off their campaign against 2012 champions Zambia who are drawn in a Group G pool consisting of Sierra Leone and Chad.
Hosts Morocco face Gabon in Group B, while Central African Republic hosts Lesotho in another Group B clash.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria, who finished runners-up in Cote d’Ivoire will face Benin, while Libya plays host to Rwanda in a tough Group D.
Group L will produce arguably the most interesting fixture of the opening day of qualifiers when former champions, Senegal play host to Burkina Faso.
