September’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers have been postponed to allow the continent’s five World Cup-bound teams to prepare for the tournament in Qatar. The postponement of the third and fourth round of fixtures had been mooted for weeks, especially after the dates for the finals in Ivory Coast were put back from June next year to January 2024.

Consequently, matchdays three and four qualifiers have been moved to March 20-28, 2023 by organizers the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Matchday five is now scheduled for 12-20 June 2023, with the final round of matches to be played between September 4 and 12, 2023.

Delaying the 2023 Nations Cup until early 2024, a decision taken to avoid playing the tournament during the rainy season in West Africa has afforded CAF some leeway to re-arrange qualifiers during a packed calendar.
