The field for the CAF Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations Senegal 2026 is complete, with all eight competing nations confirmed following the conclusion of the qualification rounds. The tournament runs from 7 to 15 November in Senegal.

Hosts and reigning champions Senegal are joined by Angola, Ghana, Malawi, Mauritania, Morocco, Mozambique, and Uganda — seven nations who fought through a 16-team qualifying competition for their places at the continental finals.

Angola's historic first appearance

Angola will make their debut at the CAF Beach Soccer AFCON, marking a landmark moment for beach football in the country. They secured qualification by holding on to their first-leg advantage against Egypt, the 2024 hosts, across the two-legged tie.

Qualification round highlights

The final qualifying round delivered a series of compelling ties. Morocco advanced with an emphatic aggregate win over Libya, while Malawi progressed with relative comfort against Seychelles.

Mauritania produced one of the most dramatic results, overturning a first-leg deficit to eliminate Côte d'Ivoire. Ghana, meanwhile, ended Nigeria's hopes of reaching the finals.

Mozambique knocked out Tanzania, and Uganda edged past Burundi to round out the line-up alongside Angola's victory over Egypt.

Senegal chasing a sixth straight title

Senegal enter the tournament as the dominant force in African beach football. The Teranga Lions have claimed five consecutive CAF Beach Soccer AFCON titles — in 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022, and 2024 — a record that stands unmatched on the continent.

Playing in front of a home crowd, Senegal will be determined to extend that extraordinary run and claim a sixth straight continental crown.

Qualified teams

The eight nations competing at the CAF Beach Soccer AFCON Senegal 2026 are: Angola, Ghana, Malawi, Mauritania, Morocco, Mozambique, Uganda, and Senegal (hosts and reigning champions).
