The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers enter a crucial phase with the third and fourth matchdays of qualification.
The race to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations continues with a particularly packed international break. From November 9 to 17, African national teams return to the pitch to play the return legs of the qualifiers, a determining step in the quest for the tickets to the competition that will be held in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
This international window is of capital importance as the federations concerned face double headers between November 12 and 17. The third and fourth matchdays promise to be decisive, particularly for nations aspiring to be among the qualifiers for this continental tournament scheduled from June 19 to July 18, 2027.
Among the teams to watch are Morocco, Senegal, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Ivory Coast. These formations, accustomed to AFCON finals, are seeking to validate their ticket from this qualification phase. Every match counts and the selectors will need to manage the balance between their players playing in Europe and those playing on the continent.
The stakes are multiple: sporting of course, but also strategic. The results of these matches will allow for an initial assessment of the qualification campaigns and identify nations that seem destined for smooth qualification, those that will have to race until the very end, and those that could experience major upsets.
African football fans will be able to follow the evolution of the different groups throughout this week of international competition, with matches that promise intensity and spectacle on the pitches of the continent.
