The CAN 2027 qualifiers start this Thursday, September 24 and end on March 30. During these six months, 144 matches will be played by the 48 teams involved, divided into 12 groups. There is no reason why the big ones should not be there in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Others, like Cape Verde or Ghana, will have an interest in reconnecting after a missed edition, while a team among the ten that have never participated in a CAN* hopes to finally hit the jackpot.
