DR Congo have also played under the names Congo-Léopoldville and Zaire respectively. Benin was called Dahomey before. Burkina Faso was called Upper Volta before. 1957 and 1959 no qualifying. 1957-94: South Africa disqualified because of Apartheid. 1962: Ethiopias qualifying are counted as they were awarded host rights midway through the qualifying tournament. 1962: Some sources state that Uganda eliminated Sudan in the 2nd qualifying round but no results have been found. 1963: Guinea were disqualified after not having provided neutral officials for the 2nd qualifying game vs. Nigeria. However, as the results of the two games stand as official they are counted here. Guinea "just" lost their final tournament place. 1965: Games involving Egypt, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali and Guinea are possibly missing. 1974: Central African Republic were disqualified after the two 1st round qualifying games vs. Cote d'Ivoire. The results were allowed to stand though. 1978: Tunisia walked off the field in the 42nd minute at the score 1-1 during the 3rd place game vs. Nigeria. The game was awarded 2-0 to Nigeria. 1986: Ethiopia won the first match in the first qualifying round vs. Tanzania but withdrew after that. The result was allowed to stand though. 1994: The following teams withdrew after having played matches in the qualifying (within brackets their record at withdrawal - please note that those records are counted in the totals!): Togo (6 0 4 2 1-7 4), Chad (2 0 0 2 0-5 0), Tanzania (2 0 2 0 3-3 2) and Burkina Faso (2 0 1 1 1-4 1). 1994: Algeria was disqualified for the use of an ineligible player after the qualifying was concluded. The record they had managed at the time of disqualification was allowed to stand in the official qualifying table though. Senegal took Algerias place in the finals. 1996: South Africas qualifying are counted as they were awarded host rights midway through the qualifying tournament. 1996: Several teams withdrew after having played matches. South Africa (withdrew as they hosted the final tournament as Kenya withdrew) (2 1 1 0 2-1 4), Lesotho (6 1 0 5 3-16 3), Guinea-Bissau (3 0 1 2 3-8 1), Gambia (5 0 3 2 4-7 3), Niger (5 1 0 4 8-16 3), Madagascar (1 0 0 1 0-1 0). 1998: Sudan (1 0 0 1 0-3) and Sierra Leone (2 0 0 2 0-3 0) withdrew during qualifying. Sierra Leones results are counted here as they were counted in the official tables. Central African Republic (1 0 0 1 2-3 0) disqualified because of unlawful meddling by the Central African Republics government in football affairs. 2000: Sierra Leone disqualified during qualifying. 2000: Ghanas and Nigerias qualifying are counted as they were awarded host rights midway through the qualifying tournament. 2002: Guinea disqualifed during qualifying. 2004: The last qualifying game between Tanzania and Sudan was never played. 2006: The AFNCs qualifying doubled as WC qualifying. So, Egypts results are only counted here for other teams as Egypt were the hosts. 2008: Djibouti withdrew from the qualifying after the draw had been made but no matches played. 2010: The playoff game Algeria vs. Egypt (1-0) is not counted as it wasn't qualifying for the African Nations Cup, only the WC. 2010: The AFNCs qualifying doubled as WC qualifying. So, Angolas results are only counted here for other teams as Angola were the hosts. 2010: Togo withdrew from the final tournament after an attack on their bus. They were subsequently disqualified. 2013: The game Senegal vs. Cote d'Ivoire was halted in the 77th minute due to crowd trouble. I have counted the result at the halt, 0-2, as the final result. Awarded matches are written with the awarded result. Also, all games that were actually played have been counted even if they, as happened in some cases, were stricken officially.Comments on the contents of this page, write to my e-mail address:
