Miraculous at home during the last edition, Ivory Coast will be keen to retain its title. The Moroccans, for their part, will want to delight their supporters by winning this CAN 2025, which would be a first since… 1976. The first step for all the nations concerned is to validate their qualification. What some have managed to do in recent days.
