A few hundred kilometers from the Congolese capital, in Huye, will be held a match, without stakes, except for honor and self-esteem, between Rwanda and Senegal. Finally, for Sudan, victory is mandatory in Kinshasa to get its ticket to CAN 2024.

CAN 2024 qualifiers: nine tickets at stake for the sixth and final day

Nine places still to be taken, matches for history or for honor, if not for status... The sixth and last day (from 6 to 12 September) of the qualifiers of the CAN 2024, will not lack spice.

Libya-Equatorial Guinea will open the ball of this final day of qualifications for the CAN 2024 this Wednesday, September 6. It is a meeting without stakes since the Libyans are already eliminated and the Equatorial Guineans already qualified. It will be necessary to wait until Thursday for the suspense to resume its rights with the verdict of Group E where Ghana, Angola and the Central African Republic are still in the race. The Fauves, who dream of a first qualification to the CAN, start from far away and only a victory on the lawn of the Black stars will open the doors of the CAN. All without their captain and leader Geoffrey Kondogbia, injured. Mission impossible?

Gabon will have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and it will not be too much for the trip to Mauritania for the final of Group I where no team is qualified or eliminated. The group's standings were turned upside down after the match lost by the Mourabitounes on the green carpet against DR Congo after the latter had conceded the draw (1-1) in Nouakchott. From now on, it is the Congolese, who had started these qualifiers with two defeats, who are in a favorable position; a draw is enough for the Leopards, against Sudan, to find the CAN after missing that of 2022. The Mauritanians, on the other hand, have almost an obligation to win to be sure of rallying to Côte d'Ivoire. A draw, other than a 0-0, could qualify Gabon thanks to the particular goal difference. Finally, for Sudan, victory is mandatory in Kinshasa to get its ticket.

A few hundred kilometers from the Congolese capital, in Huye, will be held a match, without stakes, except for honor and self-esteem, between Rwanda and Senegal. The pre-match was so tense that this match will be anything but friendly. But it will be played without the real reigning African champions and without the coach of the Lions, Aliou Cissé.

The last match of the qualifiers is not the least important and for good reason: Cameroon plays its qualification in Garoua against Burundi. Five-time African champions, the Indomitable Lions play to scare each other in a group of three largely within their reach. For having been unable to beat Namibia (1-1; 1-2), Rigobert Song, who recalled André Onana, and his colts will be under pressure when facing the Swallows who can also qualify if they win in Cameroon.
