La Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration africaine de football (CAF) a proc\u00e9d\u00e9 au tirage au sort des \u00e9liminatoires de la Coupe d’Afrique des nations, \u00e9dition 2027. Log\u00e9e dans le groupe F, la R\u00e9publique centrafricaine devra affronter en matchs aller-retour le Burkina Faso, le B\u00e9nin et la Mauritanie, trois adversaires largement plus exp\u00e9riment\u00e9s que les Fauves sur la sc\u00e8ne continentale. Sur les 48 \u00e9quipes r\u00e9parties dans 12 groupes, 32 disputeront les places qualificatives aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s des trois pays organisateurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamais qualifi\u00e9e en phase finale de la CAN, la Centrafrique doit terminer parmi les deux premiers de sa poule pour esp\u00e9rer une premi\u00e8re historique. La t\u00e2che s’annonce ardue face au Burkina Faso, seize fois participant depuis 1987 et vice-champion d’Afrique en 2013. Les deux s\u00e9lections gardent en m\u00e9moire leur duel des barrages d’octobre 2012 : victoire centrafricaine 1-0 \u00e0 Bangui, puis d\u00e9faite 3-1 au retour \u00e0 Ouagadougou, les \u00c9talons ayant arrach\u00e9 la qualification dans les arr\u00eats de jeu. La F\u00e9d\u00e9ration centrafricaine de football avait alors d\u00e9pos\u00e9 une r\u00e9serve aupr\u00e8s de la CAF, sans succ\u00e8s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Une \u00e9quipe qui cherche encore ses bases<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La Mauritanie, qualifi\u00e9e trois fois de suite en phase finale avant de manquer l’\u00e9dition 2025, avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9limin\u00e9 la RCA en mars 2021 (0-1) lors d’un match d\u00e9cisif \u00e0 domicile. Le B\u00e9nin, adversaire jamais affront\u00e9 par les Fauves, compl\u00e8te un groupe o\u00f9 l’inexp\u00e9rience centrafricaine devra composer avec des \u00e9quipes rod\u00e9es \u00e0 l’exercice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au-del\u00e0 de l’adversit\u00e9 sportive, la s\u00e9lection doit encore r\u00e9gler des difficult\u00e9s structurelles. Depuis 2021, le pays ne dispose plus d’aucun stade homologu\u00e9 par la CAF, la r\u00e9habilitation du stade Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my-Boganda n’ayant pas permis de r\u00e9pondre aux exigences de l’instance continentale. La mobilisation et la prise en charge des joueurs restent \u00e9galement des points de friction r\u00e9currents : les r\u00e9centes tensions entre le capitaine Geoffrey Kondogbia et le staff technique, qui r\u00e9clame des conditions de pr\u00e9paration idoines, ont mis en lumi\u00e8re des relations tendues entre la f\u00e9d\u00e9ration et le minist\u00e8re des Sports depuis la nomination d’Eloge Enza comme s\u00e9lectionneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malgr\u00e9 ces obstacles, la campagne relance chez les supporters centrafricains un r\u00eave ancien : voir un jour les Fauves disputer une phase finale de Coupe d’Afrique des nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
