Forty teams will fight to be among ten group winners

One of the difficult way to qualify for any World Cup are the teams from the African region. For the 2022 edition, tonight in Cairo was the draw for round two where 40 teams were divided in 10 groups who desperately want to be placed at number one spot, because only the group winners will go through to the final, third round.
In phase one there were 14 winners who are joined by 26 'privileged' top-seeded teams in this stage, and those was distributed as follows:

Group A: Algeria, Burkina Faso, Niger, Djibouti.

Group B: Tunisia, Zambia, Mauritania, Equatorial Guinea.

Group C: Nigeria, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Liberia.

Group D: Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Malawi.

Group E: Mali, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda.

Group F: Egypt, Gabon, Libya, Angola.

Group G: Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia.

Group H: Senegal, Congo, Namibia, Togo.

Group I: Morocco, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sudan.

Group J: Democratic Republic of Congo, Benin, Madagascar, Tanzania.

Ahead of us are 120 matches just from this phase, while the start had to begin from 23 March 2020 and last until 12 October 2021. However, the first 2 matchdays are rescheduled due to another qualifying cycle (African Cup of Nations), thus the official commencement has been moved for 05 October 2020.
