By winning 1-0 against Madagascar, the Comoros postponed the Indian Ocean derby, during the last qualifying match for CAN 2025, but above all the Coelacanthes finished at the top of group A. The Gambia won against Tunisia with the same score. A victory which gives them seed in the CAN 2025 group draw.
Here are twelve consecutive matches that the Comoros football team lost or conceded a draw against Madagascar. This final match was the opportunity for the selection of Stefano Cusin to put an end to this egemony. Finally, this 1-0 victory, thanks to a goal from Yacine Bourhane in the 48thth minute of play, offers first place in group A to the Coelacanths, africafootunited.com tells us.
Tunisia, big favorite, which had been in the lead since the start of qualifying since the first match, lost, 1-0, at home against Gambia. An unexpected result which upsets the ranking. It is in fact the Comorian team which finishes at the top of this qualifying round with 12 points. The Carthage Eagles are in second place with 10 points.
The Comoros will therefore be seeded in the draw for the 2025 African Cup of Nations which will be played in Morocco from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026.
