On the Radio Foot program this Monday, December 29, 2025: end of the game for the Gabon Panthers, a thrilling draw between the Elephants and the Indomitable Lions, the return of Achraf Hakimi and the Comoros/Mali match, kick-off 7 p.m. UT.
► It’s already over for the Panthers. Already absent from the 2024 edition, and after having scrapped to the end in its qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup, Thierry Mouyouma’s team, which had lost against the Cameroon during the 1st day, then conceded a surprising defeat 2-3 against the Mambas, was definitively out following the draw between Elephants and Indomitable Lions. A success over the Ivorians would not be enough, with 3 points, it is Mozambique who passes. Too many Gabonese defensive errors against Chiquinho Condé’s men?
► In this group F, a fast-paced meeting between Ivorians and Cameroonians without a winner (1-1). It was one of the highly anticipated meetings of the 2e daytime. A match that did not disappoint, with among others the opposition between the two Red Devils players, Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo. Technical orange players, black jerseys who didn’t give up anything. The winner of this group remains to be determined next Wednesday.
►The outcome in group A. The host country must validate its qualification against the Zambiaeven if the Chipolopolos dream of an exploit in Rabat. But the Reds have won their last five meetings against the 2012 winners. What playing time for Achraf Hakimi, whose return is planned?
► Comoros/Mali to Casablanca. The Coelacanths, in search of goals, still hope to play the rest of the tournament, as during the CAN Cameroonian. The Eagles will also aim for victory, and want to reassure themselves against an opponent they have already met in the qualifiers for the World Cup, and clearly beaten. Malians who are solid defensively, but whose offensive efficiency remains limited since the start of the competition.
