Both the Comoros and Tunisia qualified for the final stages of the African Football Cup of Nations. It will be played from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026 in Morocco. The last matches of group A will pit the Coelacanths against the Barea and the Carthage Eagles against the Scorpions of Gambia.
The sixth and final qualifying matches for the African Football Cup of Nations have been playing since Sunday and will end tomorrow, Tuesday. Madagascar and the Comoros meet this evening in Morocco. The Coelacanths will have the distinct honor of being the only representatives of the Indian Ocean. They qualified against Gambia on the penultimate day.
Players from the archipelago will accompany Tunisia during the final phases which will be played at the end of December 2025 and the beginning of January 2026.
Before enjoying this performance, they will play this evening in Morocco at the Al Hoceima stadium against the Madagascar team, L’Express de Madagascar tells us.
For the Barea, now led by Gilles Hugon, it is the opportunity to continue their series of invincibility against the Coelacanths. For its part, the selection of Stepfano Cusin will be keen to break Malagasy hegemony.
Today, the Comoros have the advantage among the bookmakers. Already qualified for CAN 2025, the Coelacanthes will play their second African Cup of Nations consecutively, recalls Al-Watwan. If in 2022, there was clearly a question of achievement for the CAN in Cameroon, today, this ticket is an accessible step.
One performance remains: beating Madagascar! This evening’s match, against their neighbors, is eagerly awaited by both camps.
