CAF and AFC will eliminate some of their weaker teams in two-leg preliminary rounds in October, before the Durban draw. The AFC will pit 38 of its 43 teams in these rounds so that a field of 20 will be ready for Durban. CAF will pit ten of its 53 teams in these rounds so that a field of 48 will be ready for Durban (October 13/14 and 17/18).
From the original 203 teams, by the time the Durban draws come out we will be down to 182.
