The draw for the first round of African qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup was made in Cairo on Monday. The ties will be played over two legs in September. The team mentioned first plays at home in the opening leg.

The 14 winners will join the continent’s top-ranked 26 sides, who have been exempted from the initial round of qualifiers, in the next draw to be held on a date still to be decided.

Those 40 teams will then be split into 10 groups of four for the second qualifying round.
