- Morocco already qualified without playing
The Moroccosemi-finalist of the last World Cup in Qatar, becomes the first African nation to qualify for CAN 2024 in Côte d’Ivoire, without even having played a match during this 3rd qualifying day.

L’South Africawho lost once morest Morocco in the first match (0-1), drew once morest Liberia this Friday, March 24 in group K (2-2). The Moroccans are therefore mathematically guaranteed to finish in the first two places, synonymous with qualification.

- Surprise win for Guinea-Bissau once morest Nigeria
The Guinea-Bissau created the surprise by winning the Nigeria 1-0 Friday in Abuja in qualifying for the African Cup of Nations.
The victory, acquired on a goal by Mama Baldé, who plays for the French club of Troyes, is one of the biggest sensations in the history of the playoffs of the continental competition.
In the standings, Guinea-Bissau take control of Group A with a one-point lead over Nigeria.
The Super Eagles, however, aligned at kick-off Naples striker Victor Osimhen, one of the great architects of the Italian club’s extraordinary season in Serie A.
But following a brilliant but sterile start to the match, Nigeria was surprised at the half-hour mark by Baldé. The Wild Dogs nearly doubled the lead in stride, with Euciodalcio ‘Dalcio’ Gomes finding the side netting in a beleaguered Nigeria defense.
- Tunisia secure victory once morest neighboring Libya
The Tunisia was only one point ahead of his Libyan opponent before this game. To stay ahead of Group J, they had to win this game. A formality for the Eagles of Carthage, accustomed to the final stages of the CAN.
It was Youssef Msakni who opened the scoring for Tunisia in the 13th minute. Then, Ali Maaloul scores a second goal, on a penalty in the 20th minute. At the end of the game, the Eagles exhausted the hopes of the Libya with a final goal from Haythem Jouini in the 86th minute.
