Listed below are the dates and results for the first round for the African zone (CAF) of the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament. For an overview of the entire African zone, see the article 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF). For an overview of the qualification rounds in their entirety, see the article 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification.

A total of 40 CAF teams entered the competition. However, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, São Tomé and Príncipe, Sierra Leone and Sudan all withdrew before the draw was made. In addition, Liberia withdrew during qualification due to financial hardship during a civil war,[1] and Libya withdrew due to UN sanctions.[2]

The African zone was allocated 3 places (out of 24) in the final tournament.[3]

For the first round of play, the zone's 36 remaining teams were divided into 9 groups of 4 teams each. The teams would play against each other on a home-and-away basis, with the group winners advancing to the final round.[3]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ The Zaire–Swaziland match was not played, as neither team could advance with a win.
  2. ^ The Angola–Togo match was not played, as neither team could advance with a win.
  3. ^ The result of the original Egypt–Zimbabwe match was annulled due to crowd violence; it was later replayed on neutral ground.
  4. ^ The second Egypt–Zimbabwe match took place in France instead on in Egypt due to the crowd violence that had caused the previous match's results to be annulled.
  5. ^ Libya was originally scheduled to play all of its matches away; however, it withdrew in protest to this ruling and due to the UN sanctions against it.[4]
  6. ^ The Morocco–Ethiopia match was suspended after 51 minutes due to Ethiopia being reduced to seven players; the result was affirmed.
