Previous continental title winners Cameroon, DR Congo, Nigeria, Tunisia, Zambia and South Africa have secured their qualification to the Morocco finals in impressive fashion, ensuring the presence of some of the continent’s top teams.

Botswana secured their place in the 24-team roster for the finals after a 1-1 draw with Egypt. Prior to the match, Botswana was one of the most unlikely teams to qualify, finishing third in their group.
