The African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2027 qualifiers are set to begin with Nigeria facing Madagascar. The tournament is scheduled for 2027, marking the first time since 1986 that Africa hosts the competition.
Nigeria has been a consistent performer in recent AFCONs, but this qualifier presents an opportunity for them to showcase their strength against a team they have not faced recently. Madagascar, on the other hand, is known for its defensive tactics and has shown flashes of brilliance in previous matches.
