Final Day of 2019 AFCON Qualifiers Set to Decide Last Five Spots
After an intense weekend of action, the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers conclude this Sunday with seven crucial matches that will determine the final five countries heading to Egypt. Several groups remain wide open, promising drama, tension, and historic outcomes for fans across the continent.
In Group G, the stakes are particularly high as all four teams remain in contention. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) hosts Liberia at the Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa. The Leopards must win to secure qualification, while any other result would see their hopes of reaching Egypt dashed. Meanwhile, Congo faces a challenging away trip to Zimbabwe, where a victory is essential to keep their Africa Cup of Nations ambitions alive. With points tight at the top, both matches are must-wins for the host nations.
Group D also offers a tense finale. Algeria has already secured its place in Egypt, but the second qualifying spot remains undecided. Togo travels to face Benin and must secure a win to claim the spot. The Squirrels, on the other hand, only require a draw to reach their first Africa Cup of Nations finals in recent years. With the outcome still undecided, the match promises high drama for both sides and their fans.
In Group E, another crucial encounter sees Libya take on South Africa. Both teams still have a chance to clinch qualification, and the winner of this match will earn a place in Egypt. The match represents an opportunity for both sides to end their campaigns on a high note, with national pride and tournament dreams on the line.
Group L is similarly competitive, with three nations still vying for the final qualification spot. Tanzania travels to face already-qualified Uganda, while Cape Verde hosts Lesotho at home. Both teams understand that a win is essential to secure passage to the finals. With stakes so high, these games could see tense moments, late drama, and potential historic first-time qualifications.
Sunday’s matches promise to deliver excitement, as teams fight not only for points but for the honor of representing their countries at Africa’s premier football tournament.
