Botswana Afcon 2025 Qualification Chances

Botswana’s Zebras are on the cusp of making a historic landmark as they battle to secure a spot in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament. With just one game left in the qualifiers, the team’s hopes rest on their performance against group leaders Egypt on November 19, 2024. A win could see Botswana achieve what seemed like a distant dream—returning to Africa’s grandest football stage for the first time in 12 years.

Currently sitting second in Group C with 7 points, Botswana’s journey has been marked by resilience and determination. The Zebras fought to a thrilling 1-1 draw against Mauritania in their most recent match, with Baruti’s goal keeping their qualification hopes alive. Meanwhile, a surprise draw between Cape Verde and Egypt kept the group standings tight, ensuring that the final round of matches would be decisive.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Botswana will face Egypt, a team that has already secured its qualification and leads the group with 13 points. While the odds are challenging, Botswana’s passionate fans and an inspired squad will look to defy expectations and claim the crucial three points. Simultaneously, all eyes will be on the Mauritania vs. Cape Verde match, as its outcome could influence Botswana’s fate.

Victory or Draw for Botswana would guarantee their place in Morocco 2025, a feat that would reignite national pride and footballing aspirations across the country. A loss, however, would leave their destiny dependent on other results and goal differences.

As the countdown begins, one thing is certain: Botswana’s Zebras have captured the nation’s imagination, and they stand just one step away from etching their names in African football history. Will they rise to the challenge and claim their place among the continent’s elite? The entire nation waits with bated breath.
