FIFA has altered the
seeding for the 2018 World
Cup Africa group draw in
Cairo tomorrow with Egypt,
Guinea and Cameroun
promoted and Tunisia,
Nigeria and Mali demoted.
Egypt are now among the
top seeds and Guinea and
Cameroun are second
seeds ahead of a draw that
will split 20 nations into
five groups with the
winners qualifying for the
finals in Russia. Tunisia drop from first to second seeds and Nigeria and Mali from second to third seeds for the most eagerly anticipated off-field event in African football this year. The world soccer governing body, FIFA, has not explained why they changed the seedings. Algeria, Cameroun, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire and Nigeria are seeking third consecutive World Cup appearances.
