African Group Stage

CAF qualifying restarted with Matchdays 3 and 4 from 5th to 11th June, but not only the field is look when we talk about African matches

 

In May 2024, FIFA Disciplinary Committee sanctions the Equatorial Guinean FA for fielding player Emilio Nsue Lopez, when he was ineligible for FIFA.

 

Consequently decided to declare the matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026 preliminary competition in which the player was fielded lost by forfeit by Equatorial Guinea by a score of 3-0 (Equatorial Guinea 1-0 Namibia and Liberia 0-1 Equatorial Guinea).

 

Equatorial Guinea is down at zero points in three matches after lost with Tunisia (group H)

 

 

In the first day we have a "postponed" match: Congo   vs   Niger for forfait of the home nations Congo!!!

Congo was authorized at the last minute to play at home in Brazzaville, but Niger backtracked, wanting to go to Kinshasa initially chosen for the match.

The Minister of Sports of the Republic of Congo, Hugues Ngouélondélé, announced forfeit rather than go to Kinshasa.

It is now up to FIFA to decide on this match.

CONCACAF WCQ

 

After played the first two matches of Second Round, the CONCACAF qualifiers will be back next year in June.

 

The match vs   was cancelled after a decision by Cayman Is. FA to not travel at Cuba.

US travel restrictions pose a risk to Cayman’s players, many of whom are in college or training in the United States.

The US routinely cancels ESTA visa waivers for anyone who has travelled to Cuba. This would impact several of the national team players who are under 23, on student visas to attend college in the US and have ESTAs in their British passports.

Whittaker, President  of CIFA, told that the team had discussed the options and decided they could not play in Cuba and would have to forfeit the match.

 

The match is cancelled and will be awarded by Cuba 3-0 after a decision of Fifa disciplinary

Yep but Malaysia isn't too strong though. Thailand missed their chance, the same with India and Afghanistan with quite average Kuwait. I will be supporting Indonesia, Jordan and Oman.
