African Teams will have it tough this period with world cup qualifiers and AFCON qualifiers to navigate with. The NFF should just settle the issue with Peseiro on whether he is continuing as the gaffer or not so as to avoid unnecessary distractions.
Not really. AFCON 2025 qualifiers proper is between September and November this year. 6 matches on home and away basis.
Big African teams will only play friendlies in March until WC qualifiers in June.
