Benin and Sudan qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Monday leaving only three slots to complete the puzzle.
Sudan held already qualified Group F leaders Angola to a goalless draw in Benghazi to join the party, finishing above Niger who had beaten Ghana 2-1 away.
The Falcons of Jeddah finished in second place on 8 points, one better than Niger.
Benin qualified at the expense of Rwanda in group D despite both teams finishing on same points, 8, three points behind Nigeria who topped standings.
Rwanda stunned the Super Eagles with a come from behind 2-1 win but a draw for Benin in Libya meant the head-to-head denied the Amavubi a chance to appear at the Afcon.
Who completes the puzzle?
Three places remain to complete the 24-team set with only three groups yet to be decided.
In group C, 4th placed Mauritania (4pts) and 2nd placed Botswana (7pts) have an opportunity.
For Mauritania to qualify, they must win against 3rd placed Cape Verde who are shockingly already eliminated and hope Botswana lose to already qualified Egypt.
Group H also has Tanzania fighting for the remaining slot with Guinea as the two face off at Benjamin Mkapa stadium.
The Taifa Stars, 3rd on 7 points must beat Guinea (9pts) to join already qualified DR Congo from that group.
The other group with unfinished business is I as Guinea Bissau and Mozambique seek to join Mali.
With 5 points, Guinea Bissau who host the Mozambique on 8 points need to win by a two-goal margin to seal qualification after they lost the first leg clash 2-1 in Maputo.
The 21-qualified Teams
Morocco (hosts), Algeria, Angola, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Comoros, DR Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Mali, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Benin, Sudan
