CAN 2025 Qualifiers: Burkina Faso, Algeria and Cameroon Already Qualified

The 4th day of the qualifiers for the 2025 African Cup of Nations (CAN) is currently taking place. After the matches played on Monday, Burkina Faso, Algeria, and Cameroon have obtained their tickets for the competition which will take place between December 21, 2025, and January 18, 2026, in Morocco.

Three countries have already validated their ticket for the final phase of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations which will take place at the end of 2025 in Morocco: Burkina Faso, Algeria, and Cameroon.

The Burkinabe team was the first to qualify thanks to its victory against Burundi (2-0), Sunday October 13 in Abidjan.

After four days, Burkina Faso has three wins and a draw at the top of Group L, with 10 points, three more than Senegal (2nd). The Lions of Teranga, African champions in 2021, could join the Stallions in Morocco – whose selection has already qualified as host country – if they beat Malawi this Tuesday.

For its part, Algeria also officially qualified thanks to a victory on Monday against Togo in Lomรฉ (0-1). Borussia Dortmund player Ramy Bensebaรฏni was the only scorer of the match in the 18th minute after converting a penalty. After four wins in as many matches, the Fennecs, winners of the CAN-2019, are among the teams in form at the moment. With 12 points, they are well ahead of Group E with 12 points, just ahead of Equatorial Guinea (7 points).

Cameroon is also at the rendezvous of these qualifications. Winners of Kenya (1-0) at the Kampala stadium in Uganda, the Indomitable Lions won their ticket for the final phase on Monday. The Cameroonians could count on a superb free kick ( 63rd minute) from DC United player Boris Enow who shone for his very first selection. 

With this victory, Cameroon consolidated its first place in Group J with a five-point lead over Zimbabwe and six points ahead of Kenya.
