The 24-team lineup for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament was confirmed on Tuesday night.

Cameroon and Namibia became the 23rd and 24th nations to qualify following Cameroon's 3-0 win over Burundi in Garoua.

Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, Rennes defender Christopher Wooh and Besiktas striker Vincent Aboubakar got the crucial goals for Cameroon.

Meanwhile, Manchester United keeper Andre Onana kept a clean sheet on his first international appearance since November 2022.

Tuesday's result saw Cameroon finish top of Group C, ahead of Namibia in second and Burundi in third.

Group C ended with just three active teams after Kenya's disqualification by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in May 2022.

AFCON 2023 will actually take place in 2024 across January and February.

The tournament had originally been scheduled to begin in June 2023. But it was rearranged due to fears that the weather during the rainy season in host nation Ivory Coast may cause disruptions.
