Ethiopia will not complete its final two qualifying matches in Africa's first round. This was announced on September 12, 2008. The results from their first two encounters have been stripped from the Group H table, and that group now consists of only Rwanda, Morocco, and Mauritania.The group leader is Rwanda with nine points through four matches. With the withdrawal of Ethiopia comes great news for Rwanda: they have qualified for CAF's Round Two! Because the points they earned against Mauritania now count toward the second-place tiebreakers, they are guaranteed to advance regardless of the outcome of the group's lone remaining encounter.
Morocco host Mauritania in the group finale. Morocco have six points whereas Mauritania have zero. A Morocco win would guarantee them a place in Africa's final twenty alongside Rwanda.
