AFCON 2025: Two countries qualify for tournament

Burkina Faso have confirmed their place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

This follows their 2-0 victory over Burundi on Sunday in a qualifying fixture.

Bertrand Traore and Mohamed Konate scored the goals for the Stallions in Abidjan.

They qualified after a draw with Senegal, a win over Malawi and two victories against Burundi.

It will be the 14th AFCON appearance for the Burkina Babes, whose best outing was finishing runners-up behind Nigeria in South Africa 11 years ago.

Senegal will join Burkina Faso in Morocco next year if they win in Malawi on Tuesday.

Burkina Faso have 10 points, Senegal seven, Burundi three and Malawi none.

Morocco will be automatic participants at the next AFCON as the host nation, but are playing the qualifiers for competitive match practice.
