Mozambique - Ethiopia

Mozambique host Ethiopia on 13 November 2026 for matchday 3 of the Africa Cup of Nations qualification group stage. The two sides last met in the African Nations Championship group stage on 14 January 2023, where they played out a goalless draw. This encounter marks a pivotal moment in the group as both teams look to establish momentum early in the qualification process.

Mozambique enter this fixture with confidence after a dominant 4-1 victory over Sudan following a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Senegal. In contrast, Ethiopia face a challenging period after suffering consecutive defeats, falling 1-0 to both Sudan and Senegal in their previous outings. With Mozambique finding their attacking rhythm and Ethiopia aiming to recover from their recent setbacks, the outcome will likely hinge on which side can better manage the pressure of this competitive qualification tie.
