AFCON 2025 Qualifiers Review: Eagles fly again as Black Stars struggle

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers kicked off last week, with the games highlighting the narrowing gap between African teams. The top two teams from 11 groups will join Morocco, the hosts, who have already qualified but are still participating in the qualifiers.

Heavyweights like Ghana have stumbled in the opening matches, while the North African teams have dominated, showing they are well on track for a full contingent in Morocco in 2025.

Group A: Tunisia’s Carthage Eagles have a firm grip on the group, with six points from their first two matches. A win in their next game against Comoros could secure their qualification. The second qualification spot will be contested between Comoros, The Gambia, and Madagascar.
