AFCON Battle: Senegal, Egypt & Nigeria Qualify To Round Of 16, Guinea Bissau & Mozambique Kicked Out

By Frank Kamuntu

The final round of group games for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations is underway.

All teams have played at least twice, but only a few teams have managed to qualify for the knockout stages so far. That means there is still a long way to go, and plenty of shocks still on the cards.

Hosts Ivory Coast are currently outside the top two after a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Equatorial Guinea, as are the likes of Ghana, Cameroon, Algeria, Tunisia and Zambia.

The top two teams from each of the six groups will reach the last 16 as well as the four best third-placed teams, so there is a real chance that some massive names are going to be missing the knockout round.

We run down who has qualified, who is out, and who is battling to stay alive.

Qualified
  • Cape Verde
  • Senegal
  • Equatorial Guinea
  • Nigeria
  • Egypt
Guaranteed At Least A Top-three Place
This set of teams will finish at least third in their group. That doesn’t mean that they are guaranteed a place in the next round – it all comes down to results in other groups.
  • Ghana
  • Ivory Coast
  • Guinea
  • Angola
  • Burkina Faso
  • Mali
  • Morocco
Eliminated
  • Guinea-Bissau
  • Mozambique
As well as the 12 teams that will come from the group winners and group runners-up, there will be four more teams who finished in third.
Given that there six groups it will mean that two teams who finish third will miss out. Currently, Ivory Coast, Namibia, Algeria and Zambia would qualify, whilst Ghana and Cameroon would miss out.
Afcon Standings Ahead Of Final Group Games
All matches in Group A and B have now been played, but there is still much to compete for in the four remaining groups:
AFCON Group C
AFCON Group D
AFCON Group E
AFCON Group F
