2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification Group A

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Group A of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification tournament was one of the thirteen groups to decide the teams which qualified for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals tournament. The group consisted of four teams: Tunisia, Togo, Liberia, and Djibouti.[1]

The teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format, between June 2015 and September 2016.[2]

Tunisia, the group winners, qualified for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, while group runners-up Togo also qualified due to being one of the two group runners-up with the best records.[3]
