The Leone Stars of Sierra Leone will battle against Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea and the Afcon defending champions, Algeria in Group E.

The draw took place in Yaounde, Cameroon on Tuesday 17 August 2021, as 24 nations are divided into 6 Groups for the Cameroon 2021 Total Energies Afcon finals.

This means Sierra Leone and her Group E counterparts will play their first 2 group stage matches in Douala City, and their last games in a different Stadium.

This is how teams will qualify for the Round of 16

Top 2 teams in each of the 6 Groups qualify –

Best 4 third-placed teams in the 6 groups qualify –

This implies 4 points most probably qualifies to round of 16….

3 points could qualify a team, which will be determined by the performances of other 3rd placed teams in the other groups.

LEONE STARS have a great chance of qualifying despite facing the defending champions and Ivory Coast.
