Comoros v Congo: kick-off time and TV channel for Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifier

Comoros host Congo on Friday, 13 November 2026, in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifying match, with the visitors already under pressure after collecting just one point from their opening two games.

The Cœlacanths lost 3-1 to Cameroon in their first fixture but responded with a 1-0 victory against Namibia, Benjaloud Youssouf scoring the only goal. They will now look to build on that result at the Stade omnisports de Malouzini in Moroni.

Kick-off is scheduled for 14:00 in France, 13:00 in Brazzaville and 16:00 in the Comoros. The match will be broadcast live in France on beIN SPORTS 2 from 14:00.

The two sides will meet again four days later, with the return fixture taking place on Tuesday, 17 November, at the Stade Alphonse-Massamba-Debat in Brazzaville.

Cameroon currently lead Group G with four points after two matches. Comoros and Namibia have three points each, while Congo are bottom with one point.

Hubert Velud has strengthened the Comoros squad for the double-header by recalling five players. Faiz Selemani, Rafiki Said and Ismael Boura were absent from the previous gathering, while Said Bakari and Anfane Said Djambae have also returned.

Congo began their campaign with a 1-0 defeat by Namibia before drawing 1-1 with Cameroon. Geltany Bantsiele gave the Diables Rouges the lead in that match, but they were unable to secure victory.

Congo manager Claude Le Roy has named Nehemiah Fernandez, Kevin Mouanga and Jordi Mboula in his final 25-man squad for the two matches.

Le Roy is targeting at least four points from the meetings with Comoros. With only one point from their opening two games, the Diables Rouges have little room for error in the race to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations 2027.
