As we eagerly await the official draw for the AFCON groups, here’s a speculative look at the potential groups & AFCON results:
Group A Schedule
- Côte d’Ivoire
- Nigeria

Host Ivory Coast will play against three-time winners Nigeria alongside Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, who have both qualified for the competition for the fourth time. Nigeria and Ivory Coast are the favourites in this group, but we expect Equatorial Guinea to give a fight.

Four-time winners Ghana will look to win their first title since 1982 when they grace the AFCON 2024 tournament. However, they must first qualify from Group B, where they will face Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
Egypt are seven-time winners, looking to win their first title since 2010. They are favourites in this group alongside Ghana.

Group C Schedule

Defending champions Senegal will need to overcome fights from five-time winners Cameroon alongside Guinea and The Gambia if they want to move to the next round. Group C will give fans some thrilling games, and bettors can also make their predictions on betting sites in Ghana.

Group D Schedule
- Algeria
- Burkina Faso
- Mauritania
- Angola
Algeria had a disappointing journey at the 2021 AFCON, crashing out from the group stage and failing to defend the trophy they won in 2019.
They are now set to correct their wrongs but must pass the test in Group D first. They face Burkina Faso, Angola, and Mauritania.

Tunisia and South Africa have both won the competition once and will try to challenge for glory again. However, they must qualify from Group E, where they both face Mali, who have been runner-ups once, secured third place twice, and finished 4th three times.
They will also play against Namibia, who are qualifying for AFCON for the 4th time.
Group E Standings
Group F Schedule

While Group E looks easy on paper, three of the four teams have won the competition before. Morocco, DR Congo, and Zambia have all tasted glory, while Tanzania is only qualifying for the third time in its history.
