How they qualified: The Desert Warriors qualified from group E as leaders with 16 points, winning five matches and lost none.
Their only dropped points in the campaign was a goalless draw away to Equatorial Guinea.
Overall, they scored 16 goals and conceded only two goals in six qualifying matches.
Realistic chance at Afcon 2025: They are in a group that they should win alongside Burkina Faso, Sudan and coincidentally Equatorial Guinea who they shared same qualification group E.
Since winning their second title in 2019, they have failed to move out of the group and will be desperate to achieve that.
They have been in decent form in both Afcon and world cup qualifiers and they should get into the quarter finals at least.
Who is the star of the team: The team has several stars on their roaster but Mohamed Amoura will surely be the man.
He was the top scorer in the CAF world cup qualifiers with 10 goals and got two in the Afcon qualifiers.
Besides him, experienced Riyad Mahrez, Houssem Aouar, Rayan Aiti-Nouri and Amine Gouiri all have something to prove.
