Gabon face Lesotho in Franceville in the first leg of their AFCON 2027 qualifying double-header, with Mario Lemina and Jim Allevinah returning. A win would strengthen the Panthers’ lead in Group A, according to L’Union.

Gabon and Lesotho meet in Franceville on Friday for the first leg of their double-header in the second window of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, reports L’Union. A win would allow the Panthers to consolidate their position in Group A ahead of the match between Morocco and Niger.
