Botswana Returns To AFCON After 13 Years

Botswana secured their ever second appearance at the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco 2025, after holding Egypt to a 1-1 at the 30 June Air Defence Stadium on Tuesday.

Egypt's unbeaten campaign in Group C of the qualifiers ended with the draw against the Zebras that helped their opponents to advance to play in Africa's flag football competition.

Despite the stalemate, Botswana celebrated as they secured second place in the group to join Egypt in qualifying for the AFCON finals.

Botswana secured their first AFCON qualification since 2012, marking a significant milestone for the Zebras. #afcon #botswana
