FIFA Postpone June World Cup Qualifiers In Africa
FIFA has confirmed on Thursday that the 2022 World Cup qualifiers scheduled for Africa during June has been postponed until September due to the coronavirus and stadiums not meeting international standards.
There will now be double matchdays in September, October, and November with the 10 group winners advancing to the final round next March.
Africa has been allocated five places at the 32-nation tournament in Qatar, which has been moved from its traditional mid-year setting to November and December because of extreme summer heat.
