With the fourth round of matches, the AFCON 2027 qualifiers will reach the halfway point on Monday and Tuesday. At this stage, Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire could already qualify for the finals, scheduled to take place from June 19 to July 17, 2027, in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

Among the teams with the opportunity to secure their places in the coming days are Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal.

Côte d’Ivoire: a win or a draw

Hervé Renard’s Côte d’Ivoire have two ways to qualify from Group C. The simplest is to win in Gambia, whatever the result of the other match. A draw could also be enough for Hervé Renard’s men, provided Ghana do not win at home against Somalia in the other game.

Senegal: win in Sudan and hope for Mozambique

Senegal will also need two results to secure their place in the finals. The Lions of Teranga will have to beat Sudan (the match has been moved to South Sudan) and, at the same time, hope Mozambique win in Ethiopia. This combination of results could enable the 2021 African champions to seal qualification on matchday four.
