Cameroon begin 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying against Comoros in Garoua

Cameroon host Comoros in Garoua on Friday, 24 September 2026, as both sides open their Group G campaign in the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifiers.

The match will be played at the Stade Omnisport Roumde Adjia, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT. It will be broadcast by beIN Sports, Canal+ Afrique, SuperSport and SABC Sport.

Cameroon, regarded as the favourites in the group, will be aiming to make full use of home advantage and begin their qualification campaign with a victory in front of their supporters. The Indomitable Lions are unbeaten at home and arrive with a recent record that has been described as highly encouraging.

Comoros, meanwhile, travel with the intention of resisting the hosts and producing an upset. The Coelacanths, ranked 108th in the FIFA standings, have made visible progress in African football but have continued to experience difficulties when facing the continent’s leading sides away from home.

The match is expected to be shaped by the physical contest in midfield and Comoros’ ability to withstand Cameroon’s attacking pressure. Cameroon’s organisation, home record and greater experience make them the clear favourites on paper, although Comoros have previously shown they can disrupt opponents with a disciplined approach.

Cameroon hold the advantage in previous meetings

Cameroon have won two of the three official meetings between the nations, with the other ending in a draw. The Indomitable Lions have therefore never lost to Comoros.

The most notable encounter came in the last-16 of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. Comoros were forced to play without a recognised goalkeeper and were reduced to 10 men early in the match, but still pushed Cameroon before eventually losing 2-1.

The previous official meetings were:

– 24 January 2022: Cameroon 2-1 Comoros, Africa Cup of Nations – 23 March 2019: Cameroon 3-0 Comoros, Africa Cup of Nations qualifying – 8 September 2018: Comoros 1-1 Cameroon, Africa Cup of Nations qualifying

Cameroon’s home advantage at the Stade Omnisport Roumde Adjia, alongside their superior head-to-head record, has led Africafoot to predict a 2-0 victory for the hosts.

The published odds from 1xbet list Cameroon at 1.30 to win, with the draw priced at 6.00 and a Comoros victory at 16.00.
