Seven teams have already sealed their passage into the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
Naijaonpoint reports that the race for the upcoming prestigious tournament is getting more intense as the qualifying matches unfold.
Matchdays Three and Four have featured thrilling contests, with teams from 12 groups competing vigorously for the opportunity to showcase their talents on the continental stage.
The seven teams that have confirmed their participation in the tournament include Senegal, DR Congo, Algeria, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Egypt, and Angola.
The final two rounds of qualifiers are scheduled for next month, with additional teams aiming to join those already qualified.
The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations is set to commence on 21 December of next year, culminating in a grand finale on 18 January 2026.
Meanwhile, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has explained why the 2025 AFCON qualifying match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Libya won’t occur as scheduled.
Naijaonpoint understands that the match was originally scheduled to take place in Libya at 8 p.m on Tuesday following the first leg, which saw the Super Eagles triumph over the Mediterranean Knights with a narrow 1-0 victory at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo last Friday.
The return leg was mired in controversy, primarily due to the harrowing experience faced by the Super Eagles players and officials, who reported being stranded at the Libya airport for over 14 hours.
The ordeal ultimately led to their decision to return home rather than participate in the scheduled match.
In a statement released on Tuesday afternoon, CAF said the case between the two nations will be referred to the competent CAF bodies.
