Alongside Nigeria, three other teams—Gabon, South Africa, and Uganda—also confirmed their places in the 2025 AFCON which is scheduled to be held in Morocco.
In an exciting match, Tunisia edged out Madagascar with a nail-biting 3-2 victory, thanks to a dramatic goal scored in the 93rd minute.
This win marked a significant achievement for Tunisia, granting them entry to the 2025 AFCON for an impressive 17th time, extending their record in AFCON history.
