Current form

The Elephants successfully negotiated their way through the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers by finishing second in their group, with three goals from Jean-Philippe Krasso and Oumar Diakite. They have the opportunity to stretch their lead at the top of the World Cup qualifying standings against two teams who did not qualify for the AFCON, Burundi and Gambia, the latter having finished with a 1-0 win over Tunisia.

Gabon share the same ambition, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his team-mates play host to Seychelles, who did not take part in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, followed by a date with a Kenya side who failed to make it out of the group stage.

 The Kenya national team will first face Gambia on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at Stade Allasane Ouattara in Ivory Coast. The good news for Musa is that the stadium has many similarities with Stade Longman on the Dolphin Coast.

Think so. Well done for assisting the memory of an ageing supporter.
