The candidate for the final African representative at the World Cup will soon be known. This week, Nigeria, who beat Gabon (4-1), will host the Democratic Republic of Congo, who shocked Cameroon (1-0), in the final of the African zone play-off.
However, the winner of this duel has not yet qualified for the 2026 World Cup. They only need to take part in the intercontinental play-offs, a meeting of six teams from different confederations, except UEFA. From the final round of this playoff, two countries will leave with the last two tickets to the North American tournament. Nigeria and Congo have not resolved their problems.
The African zone play-off final between Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo will be held this Sunday, November 16 at 8pm. The meeting will be followed live on L’Équipe Live Foot.
