The 3rd edition of the CHAN (African Nations Championship) will witness new qualifiers this weekend, with a total of 7 matches. Nigeria, facing Ivory Coast, already holds a significant advantage after a convincing 4-1 victory in Calabar. Similarly, Mali has a comfortable two-goal lead as they prepare to travel to Guinea (leading 3-1).
Other matches, such as Congo vs. DR Congo (1-2) and Niger vs. Burkina Faso (0-1), among others, may face potential postponements.
One notable fixture is the Cameroon vs. Gabon match, which was initially canceled due to Fecafoot’s sanction but has been rescheduled for this Saturday. However, this rescheduling hasn’t been well-received by the Gabonese. Additionally, three other matches feature representatives from the Cosafa Zone (Mauritius vs. Zimbabwe, Mozambique vs. Namibia, Botswana vs. Zambia).
In the previous week, the major upset was the qualification of Mauritania.
