A Major Test at Home

Senegal joins Ethiopia, Mozambique and Sudan in Group J. CAF lists Sudan versus Ethiopia for September 25 before Ethiopia hosts Senegal four days later.

Facing Senegal will be an important early test in the qualifying campaign. The home setting also gives supporters in Ethiopia the opportunity to gather around the national team as the group begins to take shape.

The date, opponent and venue are confirmed in CAF’s official Matchday 1 and 2 fixture announcement.
