Group C ended with just three active teams after Kenya's disqualification by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in May 2022.
AFCON 2023 will actually take place in 2024 across January and February.
The tournament had originally been scheduled to begin in June 2023. But it was rearranged due to fears that the weather during the rainy season in host nation Ivory Coast may cause disruptions.
