2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification Group H

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Group H of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification tournament was one of the twelve groups that decided a team which qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals tournament. The group consisted of four teams: Ivory Coast, Zambia, Comoros and Lesotho (winners of the preliminary round).[1]

As the hosts of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Ivory Coast participated in the qualifiers with the team guaranteed a spot in the finals regardless of their ranking in the group. Their matches and results counted in determining the qualification of the other teams from their group.

The teams played against each other in a home-and-away round-robin format between 9 June 2022 and 9 September 2023.[2]

Zambia, the group winners, joined Ivory Coast, the group runners-up and tournament hosts, in qualifying for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
