Top half of the draw

Bottom half of the draw

The first round of the draw through up exciting clashes Namibia v Equatorial Guinea , Uganda v Rwanda , Burkina Faso v Mali .

Moving forward a potential second round clash between Uganda / Rwanda v Cameroun , Burkina Faso / Mali v Zambia , Côte D’ivoire v Tunisia could highlight a second round .

The third round potentially could see very exciting match ups Ghana v Zambia , Cameroun v Nigeria , Côte D’ivoire v Morocco , Botswana v South Africa

The final qualifying round next April which will see two teams qualify with match ups possible being Ghana / Zambia v Morocco / Côte D’ivoire , and Cameroun / Nigeria v South Africa .


We remember the last qualifying edition where Côte D’ivoire eliminated Nigeria in the third Qualifying round , with two exciting Semi Finals Zambia overcoming Kenya 3-2 on aggregate and Cameroun eliminating Côte D’ivoire 2-1 over the two games . Zambia went on to defeat Cameroun on away Goals to clinch the CAF ticket in two Thrilling encounters.


Unfortunately we do not have some associations in the qualifying process this time. Malawi we miss the great Chawinga sisters , Algeria who did not enter , Kenya citing the process for entry was when they still suspended by fifa . Surprisingly Senegal who reached the Women’s World Cup Repechage did not enter either .


Despite the losses of these associations we look forward to a great qualifying process with much drama and excitement ahead .
