Last update: 8 hours agoAFCON 2027 Draw Fallout: The CAF qualifying draw in Cairo set the stage for a tough run-in, with Nigeria landing in Group L against Madagascar, Tanzania and Guinea-Bissau, while South Africa were paired with Guinea, Kenya and Eritrea in Group D. Host-Nation Twist: Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are co-hosts and already qualified, but their groups still decide who joins them—meaning only one extra spot may be available in those pools. Match Calendar Locked: Qualifiers run across FIFA windows from 21 Sep–6 Oct 2026, then 9–17 Nov 2026, finishing 22–30 Mar 2027, with the finals in June–July 2027. Regional Spotlight: Zambia were also drawn in Group I with Algeria, Togo and Burundi, showing how several teams face “big-name” tests early. Elsewhere in the news: Russian drone strikes hit civilian shipping near Odesa, including vessels flying Guinea-Bissau’s flag, underscoring the wider risks around the Black Sea corridor.
