This implies all teams in group E of the qualifiers Madagascar excluded all stand a chance of making it to the competition.

The Chris Hughton-led team are aiming at reaching the tournament and trying to end their over forty-year trophy drought.

They last won the AFCON in 1982 and have since then been in three finals which all ended up in defeats.
