Group B brings together a blend of football tradition and emerging strength. Egypt, the record holder with the most AFCON titles, enters the tournament as the clear favourite in this group. However, they face strong competition from South Africa, champions in 1996 and a perennial dark horse in African football. Angola, a team that has reached the quarter-finals on multiple occasions, and Zimbabwe, known for their consistent appearances at the finals, are both eager to prove they should not be underestimated.
With experienced powerhouses and ambitious challengers, Group B promises to be a tightly contested battle where every point counts. Below you will find the current standings, full match schedule, and more details about the participating teams.
