By Joseph S. Conteh 

In a shocking turn of events, three of West Africa’s footballing powerhouses have failed to secure their place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Morocco. The trio of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, who are typically considered among the region’s strongest national teams, have all fallen short in their qualifying campaigns, leaving their fans and supporters deeply disappointed.

The failure of these teams to reach the continental showpiece is particularly surprising, given their rich history and pedigree in African football. Guinea, for instance, has been a regular participant in the AFCON, with their last appearance dating back to the 2019 edition. Sierra Leone, too, has made significant strides in recent years, qualifying for the 2021 tournament and hoping to build on that momentum.

Liberia, on the other hand, has long been regarded as a sleeping giant in West African football, with the country’s passionate fanbase eagerly awaiting a return to the continental stage. The fact that they have missed out on the 2025 AFCON is a major setback for their aspirations of reclaiming their rightful place among Africa’s elite.

The inability of these three neighboring nations to qualify for the 2025 AFCON raises questions about the state of football development in the region. Experts will undoubtedly scrutinize the factors that contributed to this collective failure, ranging from coaching strategies, player selection, and the overall infrastructure supporting the national teams.

As the football community in West Africa grapples with this unexpected outcome, the affected nations will need to regroup and embark on a comprehensive review of their football programs. The road to redemption will be challenging, but the determination to restore their reputations and regain their place among Africa’s top teams will undoubtedly be a driving force for these national squads in the years to come.
