Eswatini and Mali will face off at the Mbombela Stadium in neutral South Africa on Tuesday at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

Neither side won their opening game in Group I last week. The King’s Shield were beaten 1-0 by Guinea-Bissau. Jorge Bura struck the only goal of the game in the 14th minute as the visitors were unable to claw their way back into it.

Meanwhile, Mali fought back to earn a point against Mozambique. They had fallen behind to a 37th-minute strike from Geny Catamo, but Tottenham Hotspur star Yves Bissouma brought them level after the break.
