2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification Group I
Group I of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification tournament is one of the 13 groups to decide the teams which qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals tournament. The group consists of three teams: Ivory Coast, Sudan, and Sierra Leone. The hosts of the final tournament, Gabon, has also been drawn into this group and will play games against the other three teams in the group; however, these matches will only be considered as friendlies and not counted for the standings.[1]
The teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format, between June 2015 and September 2016.[2]
The group winners qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. Since this group only has three teams, the runners-up are not eligible to qualify as one of the two runners-up with the best records.[3]
