DR Congo

Sebastien Desabre's team did not impress during the group stage, but even three points were enough to finish in the second spot in the group and advance to the playoffs. In the opening match, DR Congo, despite having the edge in moments, couldn't overcome Zambia, resulting in a 1-1 draw. In the game against Morocco, the "Leopards" looked sharper again, but it ended in another 1-1 draw. Although against the underdog Tanzania, securing three points seemed guaranteed, they couldn't find the keys to the opponent's goal. In the playoffs, fate brought DR Congo against Egypt, who had lost their main star Salah due to injury. The match was evenly contested, ending in a draw in regular time (1-1), and the winner was decided in a lengthy penalty shootout (8-7).

Guinea

Fate placed the Guinea national team in a challenging group, but the "Elephants of the Nation" successfully navigated through. In the first match, Kaba Diawara's team played a 1-1 draw against the powerful Cameroon, enduring a barrage of attacks while playing the entire second half with one player less. Gambia was defeated with a minimal score of 1-0 in the second match, and the battle for the top spot took place against Senegal. Unable to challenge the "Lions of Teranga," Guinea suffered a 0-2 defeat. Despite finishing third, Guinea secured a spot in the playoff round. The match against Equatorial Guinea was tough and tense. Despite gaining numerical advantage early in the second half, the "Elephants of the Nation" were close to conceding, but the crossbar saved them. Ultimately, Mohamed Bayo's goal in the 90+8th minute settled the match.
