Unlike France, some countries vibrate after 0-0.
The last matches of the qualifying phases of the 2025 African Cup of Nations are being played during this international break. This Monday, Sudan and Benin have officially validated their participation in the prestigious competition. A goalless draw at home against the Angolans, already qualified, was enough for the Sudanese (0-0). The Falcons of Jediane rank in second place in group F with 8 points, behind Angola (14 pts) and ahead of Niger (7 pts), non-qualified. Yet the third most successful team on the continent with four coronations, Ghana finishes in a pitiful fourth place with three points.
Nigeria slows down
Benin will make its return to the CAN, six years after having played in the quarter-finals in 2019. The Guépards were also content to take a point without a goal away against Libya (0-0) to qualify. The men of Gernot Rohr finish in second place in Group D with eight points, leaving them on the sidelines Rwanda, third with the same number of units after having brought down Nigeria this afternoon (1-2). With 13 points, the Super Eagles were already assured of finishing at the top of the group.
There are now only three tickets left to participate in the continental competition. The places will be played between Botswana and Mauritania (group C), Guinea and Tanzania (group H) and Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau (group I). The competition will take place from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026 in Morocco.
Only 398 more sleeps, and we'll be there.
