The process to qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d'Ivoire has been completed by all 24 participating nations.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), five-time AFCON winners Cameroon defeated Burundi 3-O on Tuesday to round off the impressive list of qualified teams.

Twelve past AFCON winners, including three-time champion Nigeria, will be on display in January 2024, according to a breakdown of the eligible nations.

Cote d'Ivoire, the tournament's host, will be heading a potent 11-nation West African delegation that includes holders Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana, Guinea, and Burkina Faso, among many.

After a valiant performance in the qualifying rounds, Tanzania, representing East Africa, returns for a second final.

Seven-time winners Egypt, World Cup semifinalist Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria are the North African nations who are participating.

Egypt, which reached two of the most recent three finals in 2017 and at the 2021 edition, will be vying for a historic eighth championship.
