CAN Maroc-2027 : Le tirage du tour préliminaire prévu ce mardi à Rabat
While the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations is currently taking place in Morocco, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is already looking ahead to the next edition. This Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 12:00 GMT, Rabat will host the draw for the preliminary round of qualifiers for the 2027 AFCON, a first-time edition co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
This initial phase will involve the 12 lowest-ranked African teams in the latest FIFA rankings. They will compete in home-and-away matches, with six qualifying spots for the group stage of the qualifiers at stake.
For this draw, the teams were divided into two pots. At the end of this preliminary round, the six winners will join the 42 nations already automatically qualified for the group stage.
In total, 48 teams will be involved in the qualifiers, later divided into 12 groups of four.
The road to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations is therefore officially launched, with the ambition for all these teams to secure their place in this historic continental tournament.

Pot 2: Chad, Sao Tome and Principe, Djibouti, Somalia, Seychelles, Eritrea.
