Group K 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: Morocco, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Liberia. However, on 23 May 2022, CAF announced that Zimbabwe were disqualified from the qualifiers due to the continued suspension of the Zimbabwe Football AssociationbyFIFA.[1][2] The group thus went ahead with only the three remaining teams.
The teams played against each other in a home-and-away round-robin format between 9 June 2022 and 17 October 2023.[3]
Morocco and South Africa, the group winners and runners-up respectively, qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
