African Football Confederation
Number of African qualifiers for Soccer World Cup 2010
African nations are playing for a total of 5 qualifying spots in Soccer World Cup 2010, with South Africa automatically qualifying (as the host nation) for a 6th spot. With Africa's poor performances at Soccer World Cup 2006 (only Ghana qualified for the last 16), there had been speculation that Fifa would reduce the number of African qualifying nations from 5 to 4.5.
Quality of stadiums in qualifiers
FIFA has appointed a Nigerian, Bolaji Ojo-Oba, to join their Director for Stadia and Security Walter Gagg in inspecting stadia ahead of the Soccer World Cup 2010 qualifiers. The two will visit Cote d'Ivoire, Mali, Senegal, Guinea and Togo from the 4th to the 15th of December 2006, ensuring that all stadia to be used for the qualifiers are certified by FIFA as being of a sufficient standard, in terms of facilities and security.
