This period runs from 21 December of this year through to 18 January 2026, and today marks the draw that decides who will face whom in the group stage.

A total, counting the hosts, will reach 24 teams following qualifying, which has been ongoing through 2024, to participate in the 35th staging of AFCON, the first time the northern African nation has held the tournament since 1988.

Which squads are participating in the tournament?

There will be four pots, each containing six teams, with one team from each pot advancing to the group stage. Morocco and the reigning champion Ivory Coast were automatically assigned to Pot 1 due to their host country status and as reigning champions, respectively. The remaining 22 qualified teams were then distributed across Pots 1 through 4 based on their FIFA world ranking as of 19 December 2024.


Here is the text in United Kingdom English:
The complete list is as follows:

West Africa and the Middle East: Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire

The African nations listed include Cameroon, Mali, Tunisia, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burkina Faso.

The African nations of Gabon, Angola, Zambia, Uganda, Equatorial Guinea and Benin.

Mozambique, the Comoros Islands, Tanzania, the Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Botswana

How will the draw, I presume, be held?

The host nation, Morocco, will be placed at the top of Group A following a draw from Pot 1. The countries from Pot 4 will then be drawn separately and placed in order, one by one, in Groups A to F.

After all the teams from Pot 4 have been drawn, the teams in Pot 3 are randomly allocated to each of the groups - Group A to Group F in order. The teams in Pot 2 are then assigned to the groups in the same way, before the remaining five teams from Pot 1 are drawn. Morocco have already been placed in Group A, and will be followed by the teams from Group B to Group F, drawn in turn.

The top two teams in each group, plus the four best teams finishing third, will qualify for the round of 16 at Afcon 2025.

When is Afcon 2025?

The tournament has been moved up a month from its standard January schedule to start right before Christmas this year, kicking off on 21 December 2025 and concluding on 18 January 2026 with the last match.
