There are still several years left but the African continent has already made the draw for the first round where 28 teams will face each other looking for a pass and then compete with the other 26 best on the continent in the second phase.
In this way the first phase draw is left.
Ethiopia Vs Lesotho.
Somalia Vs Zimbabwe.
Eritrea Vs Namibia.
Burundi Vs Tanzania.
Djibouti Vs Esuatini.
Botswana Vs Malawi.
Gambia Vs Angola.
Liberia Vs Sierra Leone.
Mauricio Vs Mozambique.
Sao Tome Vs Guinea-Bissau.
South Sudan Vs Equatorial Guinea.
Comoros Vs Togo.
Chad Vs Sudan.
Seychelles Vs Rwanda.
Despite being teams that are not known as the world elite, we all know well that Africans always give their all for their shirt, these will be round trips, we can be sure that everyone will leave the best on the court to qualify to your country for the second phase.
Of the 14 duels highlighted to 3 that for me are the most striking.
Burundi Vs Tanzania,
These two teams were the African Cup of Nations also have two good scorers, Fiston Abdul Razak. Del Burundi is a player who since his debut has come from less to more, plays in the Bloemfontein Celtic club of the Premier Soccer League and Mbwana Samatta of Tanzania is a skilled player who is in the sights of European clubs.
Comoros VS Togo
These two teams have a good game but I see the Togo team as a favorite, both come from participating in the African Cup of Nations.
Chad Vs Sudan
This is the Classic of the West, here there will be a lot of tension in these border teams, it will surely be a very intense match, neither team will travel far to eliminate the other, this game can not be missed.
Only 14 selections will qualify for the second round, where 26 more selections await to be a total of 40, then they will be divided into 10 groups of 4 selections, only one of each group will be able to advance to the next phase where they will face in round trip and those 5 will be the glorious selections that will go to Qatar 2022.
Africa has not kept up with the evolution of football. Seeing the mainland teams is much less enjoyable than it was, for example, seeing Cameroon in the 1986 and 1990 World Cups.
Yes but don't forget Senegal who was in the quarterfinals in 2002 and also Ghana who was eliminated in the quarterfinals of 2010 with a hand of Luis Suarez stealing a goal that was the victory and qualification to the semifinals for Ghana. If there is a good level of football, African football is currently a lion that is asleep and can wake up at any time.
