African football qualification developments

Overview

Recent developments in African football qualification include preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) qualifiers, notably a decisive match between Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Harare.

In youth football, the Congo U20 national team, the ‘Diables Rouges’, failed to qualify for the 2027 Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana after finishing third in the UNIFFAC tournament. This outcome has prompted discussions regarding the need for structural reforms in Congolese football, specifically in areas such as talent detection and coordination between academies and the national federation.
