Lesotho gets tricky 2019 AFCON draw

Mafa Moremoholo and Likuena will have a tough road to Cameroon 2019
Lesotho has been drawn against Uganda, Cape Verde and Tanzania in Group L for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

The draw was conducted on Thursday evening. The top team in each of the 12 groups and the three best runners-up will advance to the finals in Cameroon in 201.

Lesotho’s qualification campaign will start in June with the first round of group games before a long break until March 2018 for the next qualifier.

The pool matches will continue with a double-header in September 2018 before the final two fixtures in October and November of that year. 

Likuena were fourth seeds in the draw and they have been drawn in a difficult group. Uganda are at the Africa Cup of Nations and were recently Africa’s national team of the year for 2016 while Cape Verde was the continent’s no.1 ranked team as recently as March 2016.

Meanwhile, Lesotho has moved down one place to 142nd in the latest FIFA world rankings released on Thursday. Likuena remain the 43rd best team in Africa.

  1. events happening scr888 deals to you. Whatever enemy you meet and have to "fight", is actually not there to kill you! Yes, (SPOILER) you can just run away from them... All NPCs are somewhat low on carb obviously, as they do cover a really small space. Even if you defeat a demon in the same room where another one of them is, the second guy won't pay you any attention.
