Zimbabwe welcome Equatorial Guinea to the National Sports Stadium in Harare on Monday, 16 November 2026, with both sides level on four points in Group E of the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifiers.
Kick-off is scheduled for 13:00 GMT. The match will be played at the same time in Dakar, Abidjan and Casablanca. It will start at 14:00 in Algiers, Tunis, Lagos, Kinshasa and Paris; at 15:00 in Cairo and Johannesburg; and at 16:00 in Nairobi.
The fixture is the fourth round of the group stage and comes four days after the teams drew 0-0 in their previous meeting on 12 November.
Zimbabwe are second in Group E, ahead of Equatorial Guinea on goal difference. They have scored and conceded the same number of goals, leaving them with a goal difference of +0, while Equatorial Guinea’s goal difference is -1.
DR Congo lead the section with nine points from three matches and a goal difference of +5. Sierra Leone are bottom without a point, with a goal difference of -4.
The result in Harare could therefore affect the order behind the group leaders, with the two teams separated only by goal difference before the match.
Zimbabwe began their qualifying campaign with a 3-2 victory over Sierra Leone on 24 September. They then lost 2-1 to DR Congo on 28 September before drawing with Equatorial Guinea in the sides’ first meeting this month. Their most recent friendly before the qualifiers was a 1-0 win against India on 30 May.
Equatorial Guinea’s earlier group results included a 2-0 defeat by DR Congo on 24 September and a 1-0 victory over Sierra Leone four days later. They drew 0-0 with Zimbabwe on 12 November, while their previous friendly ended in a 1-0 loss to Comoros on 9 June.
Monday’s game will again take place in Harare, with Zimbabwe designated as the home team. Both sides will be seeking to move clear of the other in the group after their goalless draw in the most recent round.
