The draw for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Qualifiers is scheduled to take place in Johannesburg, South Africa, on July 4, 2024.
This draw, to be held at SuperSport Studios, will determine the groupings for the qualifiers leading to the tournament in Morocco.
Forty-eight nations, including preliminary round winners Chad, Eswatini, Liberia, and South Sudan, will be allocated into 12 groups of four teams each, competing for spots in the finals.
Among the notable nations confirmed for the draw are reigning African champions Cote d’Ivoire, as well as Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, and others.
The qualifiers are set to commence in September 2024, with the aim of determining the initial 24 nations advancing to the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco in 2025.
Following the excitement of AFCON 2023, where the host nation secured their third title against expectations, the upcoming qualifiers promise a series of compelling matches on the road to the 35th edition of this prestigious continental event.
The event will feature CAF legends, team representatives, and members of the Local Organising Committee for Morocco 2025 in attendance.
