AFCON 2023 June Qualifiers: Fixtures, schedule, timing and telecast details

The European club football seson is over

There are 54 African countries battling for the 24 berths available to the next Africa Cup of Nations tournament (AFCON) to be held beginning in January 2024 in the Ivory Coast. Defending champions Senegal will be facing fierce competition from fellow African powers Egypt, Algeria, Cameroon, Morocco, host nation Ivory Coast, and others as they try to become the first back-to-back AFCON champions since Egypt won three straight in 2006, 2008, and 2010.

To qualify for AFCON, teams must progress through a group stage-style qualification format. The top two finishers in each group advance to AFCON, while the bottom two in each group are eliminated. This produces the 24 qualifiers who will reach the final tournament. Ivory Coast has already qualified for AFCON as hosts, but they will still play in the qualification matches despite their spot being assured.
