48 national teams from across the continent will take part in the qualifying campaign.

Three-time continental champions Nigeria are among the countries that will qualify on Thursday with one match to go.

Victor Osimhen scored for Super Eagles, but came from behind to draw 1-1.

Libya’s 1-0 win for Rwanda earlier in the day saw Nigeria finish in the top two for Group D even as the away match against Benin bin got underway.
