The Details
48 teams are chasing their spot at AFCON 2027, hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and this week's opening qualifying window delivers a stacked slate across the continent. There are World Cup stars, injury blows, and a manager's homecoming.

However, captain Wilfred Ndidi, Ademola Lookman and Alex Iwobi are still set to headline the squad. Meanwhile, Madagascar will hand debuts to goalkeeper Zacharie Boucher and striker Roman Ferber as the Barea chase their first return to the AFCON finals in years.
