Central African Republic Seeks Its First Points After Heavy Defeat

Central African Republic, managed by Abdelaziz Kerkache, has endured a difficult start to its qualifying campaign, losing all three opening matches.

The Fauves began with a 3-1 defeat against Mauritania on September 24 before suffering a narrow 1-0 loss to Burkina Faso four days later.

Their latest encounter ended in a 4-1 defeat against Benin on November 12 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Louis Mafouta briefly equalized in the 19th minute, but Benin responded with three unanswered goals to secure a convincing victory.

Karkache has welcomed back experienced players Geoffrey Kondogbia and Mafouta for the November international window. The squad also includes Goduine Koyalipou, Hugo Gambor and goalkeeper Dominique Youfeigane.



Benin Aims to Extend Its Unbeaten Run After Convincing Victory

Benin, coached by Gernot Rohr, leads Group F with seven points after recording two victories and one draw.

The Cheetahs opened their qualifying campaign with a 1-1 draw against Burkina Faso before defeating Mauritania 2-1.

Their most recent performance was particularly impressive, as Benin defeated the Central African Republic 4-1 on November 12.

Hassane Imourane opened the scoring in the seventh minute, while Rodolfo Aloko restored Benin's advantage after Mafouta's equalizer.

Aiyegun Tosin then scored twice, in the 36th and 56th minutes, to complete the victory.

The result strengthened Benin's position at the top of Group F and extended its unbeaten start to three matches.



Benin and Burkina Faso Battle for Group F Leadership

Benin leads Group F with seven points, ahead of Burkina Faso on goal difference.

Burkina Faso also has seven points after securing a dramatic 1-0 victory over Mauritania on November 13, thanks to a stoppage-time goal from Elohim Kaboré.

Mauritania occupies third place with three points, while the Central African Republic remains fourth without a point.

The top two teams will qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

Another victory would bring Benin closer to qualification, while the Central African Republic needs a positive result to keep its hopes alive
