Update: Major changes could happen in the 2026 Africa World Cup qualifiers

Major changes could happen in the 2026 Africa World Cup qualifiers:

▪️ Eritrea’s withdrawal has disrupted the balance, reducing Group E to just 5 teams instead of the usual 6.

▪️ To ensure fairness, CAF and FIFA are contemplating removing the points gained against the last-placed team in each group when calculating the best runners-up.

▪️ Under this proposed rule, teams like Gabon, Burkina Faso, DRC, and Madagascar could lose up to 6 points.

▪️ Meanwhile, teams such as Cameroon (potentially gaining 4 points) and Nigeria may improve their standings and increase their chances of reaching the World Cup playoffs.
