I mean I don't see any Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia or South Africa?
I mean CAF actually added 8 more slots. How did they miss out?

Zambia are the only true powerhouse in that list. Chipolopolo will be back they are still the best team from Southern Africa.bamenda boy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 9:12 pm I mean I don't see any Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia or South Africa?

Please tell the 'know-it-alls' herein.
It's interesting that some folks do not appreciate the meaning of C-O-M-P-E-T-I-T-I-O-N.
The current champions, Algeria, got a good workout against 'minnow' Sierra Leone, only to escape with a tie.
Can't wait to see the biggest upset in the knock-out phase of this competition.

So Africa's number 1 goalie Onyango and a few other veterans "retired" from the team.
To make matters worse, FUFA hired a journeyman Irish oyibo coach and then the pandemic happened.
The new team drew with Iceland yesterday. Next up is S. Korea.

Looks like apart from Togo, every team from West Africa qualified.
