After a six-month break in play, CAF qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 26™ is set to resume next month. Matchdays 3 and 4 get under way on 5 June, with everything still to play for across the nine groups.

Current Group F leaders Côte d’Ivoire memorably won their third CAF Africa Cup of Nations in January and are one of eight teams looking to continue their perfect start to qualifying. At the other end of the spectrum, 21 sides are still searching for their first win, with nine of those on the hunt for a maiden point.

Here, FIFA runs the rule over CAF qualifying ahead of its resumption.
