Tunisia’s hopes of defending their African champion title in the upcoming tournament in South Africa were dashed as they were eliminated in the second leg of the final round of qualifying. Morocco, holding a 1-0 advantage from the first leg, secured the ticket to the competition by playing to a goalless draw (0-0) in the second leg. Rachid Taoussi’s team successfully contained their opponents, earning the result needed to advance to the tournament.
As a result, Morocco and Libya will represent North Africa in the competition, with the Knights of the Mediterranean already having qualified, benefiting from Algeria’s absence.
In another qualifying match over the weekend, Uganda faced Tanzania, with Uganda taking the advantage in the tie by winning 1-0 at home.
