The 2017 African Nations Cup finals may still be on the go but thoughts are already turning to the next edition with the qualifiers to get under way next month!

And those qualifiers will contain three teams from the COSAFA region, with Madagascar, Comoros Islands and Mauritius all vying for a place in the next group phase round.

The Malagasy take on improving São Tomé and Príncipe over two legs in what will be a difficult introduction for them. The winner of that tie will take on Senegal, Equatorial Guinea and Sudan in the pool phase.

Comoros and Mauritius go head-to-head in their preliminary round tie, ensuring one will be in the next stage as Cameroon, Morocco and fellow COSAFA side Malawi await the winner.

Both legs of the preliminary round matches will be played between March 20-28.
