Discover the 24 teams that have qualified for the 2025 AFCON, featuring both underdog surprises and established giants of African football.
The qualification race for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) concluded on Tuesday, finalizing the lineup of all 24 participating teams.
While some teams secured qualification in advance, others, such as the Benin Republic, waited until later to clinch their spots for the continental football festival.
The competition is scheduled to take place in Morocco next December, with the host nation guaranteed an automatic spot.
However, some major teams like Ghana will not be participating in the competition. The tournament is expected to include traditional powerhouse nations such as Nigeria (who were surprisingly defeated by Rwanda), Egypt, South Africa, Tunisia, and defending champions Ivory Coast among the 24 competing countries.
