2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF second round

This page provides the summaries of the CAF second round matches for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification and the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations. The 48 qualifiers (45 direct entrants plus 3 winners of the first round) were split into 12 groups of four in the draw held in Durban, South Africa, on 25 November 2007. Teams in each group played a home-and-away round-robin in 2008, with the 12 groups winners and 8 best runners-up advancing to the third round. As not all groups were of equal size after the exclusion of Ethiopia and the withdrawal of Eritrea, when ranking the runners-up, their results against their group's 4th placed team would not be counted.^[1]

Seeding

One team from each of the following pots was drawn into each group.^[2]

Pot A	Pot B	Pot C	Pot D
Cameroon  Nigeria  Ivory Coast  Morocco  Ghana  Tunisia  Egypt  Guinea  Senegal  Mali  Angola  Togo	Zambia  South Africa  Cape Verde  DR Congo  Algeria  Burkina Faso  Benin  Mozambique  Libya  Ethiopia  Congo  Zimbabwe	Uganda  Botswana  Equatorial Guinea  Tanzania  Gabon  Malawi  Sudan  Burundi  Liberia  Rwanda  Eritrea  Namibia	Gambia  Mauritania  Kenya  Chad  Lesotho  Mauritius  Niger  Swaziland  Seychelles  Sierra Leone  Madagascar  Djibouti

Particular cases: Angola and South Africa

• Due to the fact that the second round was also the qualifying round for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, South Africa took part, despite to the fact they hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup. South Africa participated in one of the twelve groups, but ultimately failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Angola.
• Angola hosted the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations but participated in this round so as to attempt progression to the third round of CAF qualifiers. Angola, however, did not qualify.^[3]
