Group C of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification tournament was one of the twelve groups that decided the teams which qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals tournament. The group initially consisted of four teams: Cameroon, Kenya, Namibia and Burundi. However, on 23 May 2022, CAF announced that Kenya were disqualified from the qualifiers due to the continued suspension of the Football Kenya Federation by FIFA.[1][2] The group thus went ahead with only the remaining three teams.
The teams played against each other in a home-and-away round-robin format between 4 June 2022 and 12 September 2023.[3]
Cameroon and Namibia, the group winners and runners-up respectively, qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
