Dans un peu plus d’un mois, le 23 septembre 2026, la R\u00e9publique centrafricaine entamera sa campagne qualificative pour la Coupe d’Afrique des nations 2027, coorganis\u00e9e par le Kenya, l’Ouganda et la Tanzanie. La Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration africaine de football a confirm\u00e9 fin juillet le calendrier des quatre premi\u00e8res journ\u00e9es de ces \u00e9liminatoires, qui opposeront 48 s\u00e9lections r\u00e9parties en douze groupes pour 32 places qualificatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les Fauves de Bas-Oubangui, jamais qualifi\u00e9s pour une phase finale de la CAN, ont h\u00e9rit\u00e9 en mai dernier, lors du tirage au sort effectu\u00e9 par la CAF, d’un groupe F face au Burkina Faso, au B\u00e9nin et \u00e0 la Mauritanie. Un tirage jug\u00e9 \u00ab jouable, mais exigeant \u00bb par les observateurs, tant les trois adversaires cumulent l’exp\u00e9rience du tournoi continental : le Burkina Faso compte quatorze participations depuis 1987 et une finale perdue en 2013, la Mauritanie s’est qualifi\u00e9e trois fois de suite avant de manquer l’\u00e9dition 2025, et le B\u00e9nin vise une sixi\u00e8me participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La Centrafrique garde en m\u00e9moire deux d\u00e9sillusions face \u00e0 deux de ces adversaires. En octobre 2012, apr\u00e8s une victoire 1-0 \u00e0 Bangui, les Fauves avaient chut\u00e9 3-1 \u00e0 Ouagadougou face au Burkina Faso, sur un but inscrit dans les arr\u00eats de jeu du match retour ; une r\u00e9serve d\u00e9pos\u00e9e par la f\u00e9d\u00e9ration centrafricaine aupr\u00e8s de la CAF n’avait pas abouti. En mars 2021, \u00e0 un pas de la qualification et lors d’un dernier match \u00e0 domicile, la s\u00e9lection avait \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9limin\u00e9e par la Mauritanie (0-1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Une pr\u00e9paration \u00e0 peaufiner<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au-del\u00e0 de l’adversit\u00e9 sportive, la f\u00e9d\u00e9ration centrafricaine de football doit encore r\u00e9gler plusieurs difficult\u00e9s structurelles avant le coup d’envoi. Le pays ne dispose plus, depuis 2021, d’un stade homologu\u00e9 par la CAF : la r\u00e9habilitation du stade Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my-Boganda n’a pas encore permis de r\u00e9pondre aux exigences de l’instance continentale. S’y ajoutent des tensions rapport\u00e9es entre le capitaine Geoffrey Kondogbia et le staff technique autour des conditions de pr\u00e9paration, ainsi que des relations tendues entre la f\u00e9d\u00e9ration et le minist\u00e8re des Sports depuis la nomination d’\u00c9loge Enza Yamissi comme s\u00e9lectionneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pour les supporters centrafricains, cette campagne relance n\u00e9anmoins un espoir ancien : voir un jour les Fauves disputer une phase finale de la Coupe d’Afrique des nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
