AFCON 2025 Qualifying Draw to Be Held in South Africa on July 4

According to the Confederation of African Football, the qualifying draw for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will occur on July 4 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The 48 teams will be divided into 12 groups of four, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the finals in Morocco.

Although the tournament hosts, Morocco, will be included in the draw, they are already assured of qualification, so only one other team from their group will secure a spot in the finals.

CAF has not yet announced the dates for the 2025 AFCON.

The qualifiers are scheduled for September, October, and November, with Nigeria’s Super Eagles set to compete against various opponents.

Liberia, Chad, South Sudan, and Eswatini advanced through a preliminary round to join the continent’s 44 highest-ranked nations in the group draw.
