Listed below are the dates and results for the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds for Africa. 51 teams took part (only Djibouti and Comoros did not enter), competing for 5 World Cup places.

The qualification was composed of two Rounds. 9 teams entered the competition directly on the Second Round: the 5 teams that qualified for the 2002 World Cup Finals (Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and Tunisia) and the 4 highest ranking teams in the June 25, 2003 FIFA world rankings (Congo DR, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, and Morocco). The other 42 teams were paired 2-by-2 and played knock-out matches home-and-away. The 21 winners would advance to the Second Round.

In the Second Round, the 30 teams were divided in 5 groups of 6 teams each. Teams in each group would play against each other in a home-and-away basis. The team with most points in each group would qualify to the World Cup.

The competition also constituted the qualification competition for the 2006 African Nations Cup with the top three nations of each group qualifying (except for Egypt, which qualifies as the host nation, the fourth nation in Egypt's group qualifying in Egypt's place).

The African qualifying zone was arguably the most exciting one of this World Cup with 4 out of 5 slots going to World Cup debutants (Angola, Togo, Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana) while the more established teams like Nigeria and Cameroon failed to earn a spot.

The African zone also featured a group of death — Group 3, which brought African powerhouses Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire and Egypt together, as well as the emerging footballing nation of Libya. The group was won by Côte d'Ivoire.
