The dice has been cast for the AFCON 2019 tournament in June.
The 32nd edition of the 2019 African Cup of Nations, AFCON went down in front of the Great Pyramid in the capital city of Egypt, Cairo.
The occasion was graced by some African football legends in the like of Yaya Toure and Mamadu Diouf. The host nation, the Pharaoh's of Egypt seem to have had an ice cool group with the Ghana Black stars also in a favourable group with all eyes on the final group F game with defending champions, Cameroon which looks like a group F decider.
Not forgetting the icing on the cake in most tournaments the group of Death which ironically looks to be the Group D. This group D holds three African Giants who would go head to head to gain ticket into the next stage of the tournament.
GROUP A
EGYPT – DR CONGO – UGANDA – ZIMBABWE
GROUP B
NIGERIA – GUINEA – MADAGASCAR – BURUNDI
GROUP C
SENEGAL – ALGERIA – KENYA – TANZANIA
GROUP D
MOROCCO – IVORY COAST – SOUTH AFRICA – NAMIBIA
GROUP E
TUNISIA – MALI – MAURITANIA – ANGOLA
GROUP F
CAMEROON – GHANA – BENIN – GUINEA BISSAU
The tournament will be the first of its kind to host 24 African countries with 1st and 2nd of each group qualifying and the 3 place team going at each other for the last two qualification tickets.
