The road to the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco 2025, begins on Wednesday as 48 national teams across the continent embark on their qualifying campaigns.
Divided into 12 groups, these teams will battle it out in a series of exciting encounters, with 24 matches scheduled for the opening day.
