The island nation seeks to surpass expectations in their second AFCON appearance despite being drawn in a challenging group with tournament hosts Morocco.
The Comoros national football team enters the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with renewed confidence after completing their qualification campaign undefeated. Nicknamed Les Coelacantes, the islanders will face their toughest challenge yet in Group A against Morocco, Zambia, and Mali.
Under coach Stefano Cusin, Comoros stunned African football by topping their qualifying group ahead of traditional powerhouses Tunisia, finishing with 3 wins and 3 draws while scoring 7 goals.
The team faces a daunting schedule:
While considered underdogs, Comoros brings a unique blend of resilience and creative flair. Veteran captain Youssouf M'Changama, the team's all-time leading scorer with 15+ international goals, remains crucial despite his 35 years.
"Getting out of the group again would be a significant achievement," said football analyst Ismael Kiyonga. "While title contention seems unlikely, their organized play could spring surprises."
Comoros' 2021 tournament debut saw them advance from the group stage, and the squad aims to replicate that success with their improved tactical discipline and moments of individual brilliance.
