1990 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF first round
The CAF first round was the first stage of the qualification for the 1990 FIFA World Cup in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) zone.
Format
[edit]Eight knockout ties were originally drawn, involving the sixteen lowest ranked African countries.
- Angola v Sudan
- Zimbabwe v Lesotho
- Zambia v Rwanda
- Malawi v Uganda
- Libya v Burkina Faso
- Ghana v Liberia
- Tunisia v Guinea
- Gabon v Togo
Lesotho, Rwanda and Togo all withdrew after the draw was made. This meant their scheduled opponents – Zimbabwe, Zambia and Gabon – all advanced by walkover.
