List Of Countries Qualified For 2022 Africa Cup Of Nations

OnyxNews Nigeria understands that Nigeria became the 17th qualifiers for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in a goalless draw in the Group L match between Lesotho and Sierra Leone in Maseru, Lesotho Capital.

This came an hour before Nigeria’s Paul Onuachu headed a stoppage-time winner to snatch a 1-0 matchday 5 victory in Benin Saturday.

Nigeria now have 11 points, Benin seven, Sierra Leone four and Lesotho three going into the final round of qualifiers Tuesday.

While three-time African champions Nigeria host Lesotho in Lagos with only pride at stake, Cup of Nations qualification will be on the line when Sierra Leone confront Benin in Freetown.
