Good news for Club M. The complaint made by the MFA to AFCON after the defeat (1-0) of Club M against Sao Tome and Principe in the preliminary round of the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 has been accepted.
Thus, Mauritius qualifies for the group stage of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and joins group A which is composed of Nigeria, Guinea Bissau and Sierra Leone. The first two rounds are scheduled from 30 May to 14 June 2022.
Club M, which has not trained since its double confrontation against Sao Tome and Principe last March, will undoubtedly have its work cut out.
As a reminder, Club M’s protest was justified by the fact that a Sao Tome and Principe player had not presented the result of his PCR test within the required timeframe.
The draw:
Group A: Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritius.
Group B: Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Togo, Eswatini.
Group C: Cameroon, Kenya, Namibia, Burundi.
Group D: Egypt, Guinea, Malawi, Ethiopia.
Group E: Ghana, Madagascar, Angola, Central African Republic.
Group F: Algeria, Uganda, Niger, Tanzania.
Group G: Mali, Congo, Gambia, South Sudan.

Group I: DR Congo, Gabon, Mauritania, Sudan.
Group J: Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Botswana.
Group K: Morocco, South Africa, Zimbabwe*, Liberia.
