The battle for places at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) PAMOJA 2027 returns between 12th and 17th November with 48 matches across the continent in Matchdays 3 and 4 of the qualifying campaign.
A series of high-stakes double-headers will take the competition past its halfway stage as some teams which made poor starts try to revive their chances, while those that started strongly will be keen to keep up the momentum and seal their tickets early for the East African AFCON.
After matchdays 3 and 4 set for this month, the final two qualifying rounds will be held in March 2027.
Group C promises some of the most compelling encounters, with Côte d’Ivoire and Gambia both boasting perfect records after two matches.
The Elephants, under returning coach Hervé Renard, host the Scorpions in Bouaké on Thursday, 12 November, before travelling to Bakau for the return fixture five days later.
The two encounters could have a major influence on the battle for Group C’s qualifying places.
In the same section, Ghana face a crucial double-header against Somalia, knowing that further dropped points could seriously damage their hopes of returning to the continental finals.
Group K features another meeting between unbeaten teams, with Mali and Rwanda both on six points ahead of their encounters in Bamako and Kigali.
