They beat Zambia 2-0 in their first qualifier before a 2-0 away win vs Chad. A 4-1 thrashing of Sierra Leone has preceded two defeats.

Chad are winless in seven matches. Their AFCON qualifying attempts have yielded three draws and two defeats.

A 0-0 draw away at Sierra Leone was followed by a 2-0 home defeat to Ivory Coast. A double header against Zambia yielded a 0-0 home draw against Chad and a 1-0 away loss to the same opponents.

On Wednesday, they played out a 1-1 home draw against Sierra Leone.
