Sierra Leone’s National Football Team, the Leone Stars, has been drawn into Group G for their qualifying for the Afcon 2024.
It would be a tough and a challenging path after being placed in Group G for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Their opponents include the formidable reigning champions, Ivory Coast, with whom Sierra Leone had an exciting 2-2 draw during the 2021 AFCON.
Zambia also poses a significant challenge, having crossed paths with Sierra Leone in previous encounters.
Completing the group is Chad, adding to the competitive lineup.
The Leone Stars have a history of stepping up when it counts, and they are determined to secure a spot in the 2025 AFCON finals in Morocco, marking their fourth appearance in this prestigious tournament.
The Leone Stars had a bittersweet battle to face alongside defending champions Ivory Coast, Chipolopolo of Zambia and Chad in Group G for the 2025 Afcon.
