Sierra Leone’s AFCON Qualification Path
With two games left, Sierra Leone still has a shot at qualifying for AFCON 2025, but their fate depends on both their own performance and other Group G results.
Scenarios for Qualification:
- Win Both Matches (6 Points)
If Sierra Leone wins both remaining games (against Chad and Zambia), they will reach 10 points. Qualification would then depend on Zambia’s result against Ivory Coast:- If Zambia loses to Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone secures second place.
- If Zambia wins, both teams reach 10 points, making the head-to-head result between Sierra Leone and Zambia crucial.
- Win One, Draw One (8 Points)
With a win and a draw, Sierra Leone would finish with 8 points but would need Zambia to lose both of their final games. If Zambia gains any points, they would stay ahead. - Draw or Lose Both
Failure to win either game will end Sierra Leone’s qualification hopes, as they won’t have enough points to challenge for the top two spots.
In Summary
Sierra Leone needs two wins and a favorable Zambia vs. Ivory Coast result to keep their AFCON 2025 hopes alive.
