Eritrea withdraw

Eritrea have withdrawn from World Cup qualifying. Their spot in Group K will be left empty.

Togo, Zambia, and Swaziland will contest their games as previously scheduled. The top finisher in the group will go to the third round of African qualifying. There has been no word yet on how this change will affect how the top eight second-place finishers will be selected. Will only the results against the first-place and third-place finishers count in determining the top eight or will the second-place team from Group K be automatically eliminated?
