The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has postponed the Qatar 2022 Fifa World Cup Qualifiers for the continent.
This came as there were no approved stadiums to host home matches for a quarter of the 40 countries to be involved.
The qualifiers will now start in September of this year with the final ones in March 2022.
Read the Caf statement, “The qualifiers will now take place in the existing windows of September, October and November 2021, and March 2022.”
The qualifiers were scheduled to begin in early June, having already been postponed from October last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Those affected include Senegal, who competed at the last World Cup in Russia in 2018, and Mali, who were among the top seeded teams for the preliminaries.
Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, Niger and Sierra Leone have all also been affected.
Also of concern are travel restrictions in place, which could affect many teams as they did teams in the March Africa Cup of Nations qualification.
