Djibouti put their name into the pot for the preliminary draw on November 25 by winning their one-off tie versus Somalia. Because Somalia was deemed unsafe for play, FIFA decided to shorten this tie to a single game in Djibouti. In fact, Somalia have not played at home since 1986. With the shutout victory, Djibouti have become team number 46 to qualify for Africa's second stage; only two more spots remain.In other African news, Togo will not be allowed to play any of its first three home qualifiers in Togo. This decision was handed down after violent actions by Togo's fans were committed against visiting Mali players.
