Eight Teams Secure AFCON 2025 Qualification

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers have already seen eight teams secure their place at the continental showpiece with two rounds of fixtures remaining.

In Group B, Morocco are already in the tournament as the host nation and lead the table with nine points, while Gabon are favourites to advance alongside them.

Egypt has booked its place in the 35th edition of the tournament, which returns to the North African state for the first time since 1988.

Ibrahim Adel’s 85th-minute winner to beat Mauritania moved them to 12 points from four games, while Botswana are second with six points after back-to-back wins over Cape Verde.

Algeria are also one of the sides with a 100% record, winning all four of their games after a 1-0 win over Togo and will likely be joined by Equatorial Guinea from Group E.

In Group F, Angola booked their place in the tournament with three games to spare which contains Ghana.

The Southern African nation have 12 points from four, while the Black Stars have two points after a draw and defeat to Sudan in their last two games.

DR Congo in Group H and 2021 AFCON hosts Cameroon in Group J are also already through to the biennial event while Group L is the only one wrapped up completely.

Burkina Faso and Senegal have secured unassailable leads over Burundi and Malawi with two games to go as they sit on 10 points each with three wins and a draw.
