Preview: Morocco Vs Central African Republic
Morocco welcome the Central African Republic in the round three action of the AFCON qualifiers at the Honneur Stadium aiming to continue their unbeaten streak in the competition.
Morocco are amongst the best teams in Africa but have suffered a dip in form over the years. This is despite proving themselves as one of the top teams on the back of their remarkable run to the semifinals in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In that competition, they defeated some of the best teams on the road.
Currently, they are doing well in the qualification round, securing consecutive victories in the opening two matches with victories over Gabon and Lesotho. They secured a 4-1 win in the first match over Gabon followed by a narrow 1-0 win over Lesotho. Now, they are set to face Central African Republic in the next two matches, both home and away.
Meanwhile, Central African Republic have become a good side under the leadership of Raoul Savoy who has made them rigid enough to not break down easily. They are currently languishing in the third spot in the group gathering three points from the opening two matches while being level on points with Gabon.
They began their tenure with a 3-1 win over Lesotho in the opening match followed by a 2-0 loss against Gabon in the last game. With them set to face Morocco in the next two matches, it will be crucial for them to get points here with Gabon and Morocco looking the favourites to progress.

History
The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches are organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to decide the participating teams of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, the 35th edition of the international men's football championship of Africa. The qualification began with the preliminary round which ran from 21 to 26 March and will conclude with the group stage, which will be played in September, October and November, all in 2024. A total of 24 teams will qualify to play in the final tournament, including automatically-qualified hosts Morocco..
All CAF member associations entered the competition, except Eritrea and Seychelles, who were excluded from the qualifiers. The seeding was based on the FIFA World Ranking from 15 February 2024, with teams ranked 1st to 44th received a bye to the qualifying group stage, while the teams ranked 45th to 52nd had to participate in the preliminary round.
