Zambia vs Malawi Live: safest options (2025) Zambia vs Malawi Women's International Football 2025 Live Coverage
As the Confederation of African Football (CAF) qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2026 enter their final stretch, the race across all nine groups is tightening. As things stand, seven direct slots are still available, and the four best runners-up will then enter a knockout second round, then the inter-confederation play-offs.
Morocco and Tunisia have already secured qualification, leaving the remaining contenders to battle through the final two matchdays.
The Mohamed Salah-led Egypt lead Group A with 20 points from eight matches. A win over Djibouti would seal their spot, while Burkina Faso, five points behind, are likely to finish second unless Egypt falter.

In Group B, Senegal's comeback 3-2 win over DR Congo last month, thanks to a Pape Matar Sarr goal in the 88th minute, gave them a one-point edge. They face South Sudan and Mauritania, while DR Congo must win against Togo and Sudan to stay in contention. Sudan also remain mathematically alive, but they need to win both their remaining match and also favourable results elsewhere.
