AFCON preliminary qualifiers vital for smaller nations.
Betfred offers R25 free bet with R50+ wager.
Final preliminary matches on March 27 are key.

The road to the Africa Cup of Nations is already underway, with preliminary qualification fixtures taking place this week as nations battle for a place in the next stage of the competition.

These early rounds may not always grab the global headlines, but they carry huge significance for the teams involved. For many smaller nations, this is the first step towards reaching the main AFCON qualifying phase - and ultimately, a shot at competing on Africa’s biggest football stage.

To mark the occasion, Betfred has launched a simple but effective promotion centered around the AFCON qualifiers.

How the Betfred AFCON Free Bet Works

The offer follows a straightforward structure designed to reward match betting across the qualifying fixtures. Bettors who place a qualifying pre-match bet of R50 or more on selected AFCON matches will receive a R25 free bet in return.

It’s a classic bet-and-get mechanic, giving punters the opportunity to get more value out of matches that might otherwise sit slightly under the radar, particularly in the early stages of qualification.

As always with these types of promotions, it’s worth checking the full terms and conditions, including minimum odds requirements and qualifying markets.

You can read up about this promotion and many others on our Betfred promo page.

Key AFCON preliminary fixtures

The current round of preliminary qualifiers concludes with three fixtures taking place on 27 March, all of which will determine who progresses further along the AFCON pathway.

São Tomé & Príncipe vs Ethiopia
Somalia vs Mauritius
Chad vs Burundi

AFCON qualification often presents unique betting angles, particularly in these early rounds where form can be inconsistent and markets less predictable. Promotions like this allow bettors to approach these fixtures with added flexibility, whether backing favourites, exploring underdogs or building multi-bet value.

With the final preliminary matches taking place, it’s the last opportunity to take advantage of this particular offer before attention shifts to the next phase of AFCON qualification.
