Today CAF announced it's qualifying format for World Cup 2026.

There had been speculation that CAF would change to a system that integrated the Africa Cup of Nations into the qualifying process. Whilst the format has changed, it hasn't changed in as innovative way as that.

Instead, the 54 CAF sides will be drawn into 9 groups of 6. Teams in each group will play each other on a round robin basis. The top team in each group qualifies for the World Cup. The best four second placed teams will enter into a Continental play-off to determine one winner who will then proceed to the intercontinental playoff.

Schedule:

Draw: July 12 2023

Match Day 1 and 2: 13-21 November 2023

Match Day 3 and 4: June 2024

Match Day 5: 6-14 October 2024

Continental Playoff: 10-18 November 2025

Having reflected on this, at least it improves on the situation where the 14 losers in the first round see their World Cup dream end after only two games. However, it does create a risk that some top African sides could find themselves eliminated if they have a bit of an off year (eg, finish second but not as one of the four best African teams.

Why the best 4 2nd place teams? If they're not going to include the 5th to 9th "best" 2nd place teams, they might as well just have the "best" one going straight into the intercontinental play-off mightn't they?
