Gabon - Lesotho

Gabon host Lesotho on 13 November 2026 for matchday 3 of the Africa Cup of Nations qualification group stage. Gabon enter this contest following a mixed start to their campaign, having responded to a 2-0 defeat against Morocco with a solid 2-0 victory over Niger. Lesotho arrive in search of their first points in the group after suffering consecutive losses, falling 2-1 to Niger before a 2-0 defeat against Morocco in their most recent outing.

These two sides share a competitive history, most notably meeting in October 2024 during a two-legged qualification tie where Gabon secured a 2-0 aggregate success following a goalless draw and a 2-0 win. Their previous encounters also include a 4-2 victory for Gabon and a 1-1 draw in 2014. As they collide again, Lesotho will aim to disrupt Gabon’s momentum and secure a crucial result to reignite their qualification aspirations.
