With the 2022 FIFA World Cup African qualifiers set to start on Friday, here is a reminder of which 10 African nations are fighting for just five spots at the tournament in Qatar later this year.
Over the course of the next few days, five African countries will cement their place at the world's most prestigious international competition following a two-legged play-off, which begins late on Friday afternoon.
The first match of the final phase of qualifying will start with DR Congo hosting Morocco, while there are two evening fixtures to look forward to, with Cameroon taking on Algeria and Mali going up against Tunisia.
On Friday night, losing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations finalists Egypt will host the winners of the continental tournament Senegal, while Ghana will be hoping to get a positive first-leg result against Nigeria.
No African country progressed from the group stage of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, a tournament in which Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia, Senegal and Egypt represented the continent.
