Compare each completed score with the qualifying group table to understand its significance. The draw on 19 May 2026 established the groups for the 2027 campaign; the Afcon Qualifiers hub explains the wider competition.

How Do You Find Your Team And Earlier Results?

Find Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya or Uganda among the completed qualifying results, checking the match date when looking for an earlier meeting. The Afcon Qualifiers table provides the group context for those scores. Read the table, or log, by comparing tied teams’ meetings first: points, goal difference, goals scored and away goals. Overall goal difference and overall goals scored follow. Ghana supporters can read each result alongside the group qualification markers. Check matches played too: teams with different numbers of completed fixtures have had different opportunities to collect points.

What Do Final Scores Explain?

A completed score records the outcome, while the group table shows how that result contributes to qualification. Nigeria won the finals in 1980, 1994 and 2013; South Africa won at home in 1996. Ghana claimed their titles in 1963, 1965, 1978 and 1982. Those title years give supporters historical context, while qualifying results and the applicable tie breaks determine progress through each group. When comparing two meetings between the same nations, identify the home side in each fixture. That distinction matters when reading the away goals criterion within the qualifying tie breaks.

Where Do Rearranged Matches And Upcoming Fixtures Appear?

Look in the Afcon Qualifiers fixtures for scheduled matches and confirmed dates for rearranged games. Read the four kick off clocks together: Nigeria uses WAT; Kenya shares EAT with Uganda; South Africa follows SAST; Ghana uses GMT. A 19:00 GMT start therefore means 20:00 WAT, 21:00 SAST and 22:00 EAT. This helps supporters coordinate viewing across the five countries. Confirm television, streaming or radio coverage through the viewing listings for the particular fixture and country.

How Does Qualification Work For The Joint Hosts?

Automatic qualification gives Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania their places as joint hosts of the 2027 finals. The tournament has 24 places, with those three host berths included in that total. Their automatic entry makes it important to read the qualification markers for each group rather than assume every group offers the same route. Kenya appeared at the 2019 finals, while Uganda reached the final in 1978. The Afcon Qualifiers stats offer another way to explore the qualifying competition.
