The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed that the FIFA ranking for January, will be used to determine the seeded teams for the 2022 World Cup play-offs, Newspremises reports.

This means Nigeria for instance, could drop off the top five, in which they are currently included.

CAF reached this decision at its Extraordinary General Assembly held in Cairo, Egypt on Friday.

It was announced that the play-off draws would be held on January 26.

The top five countries will be seeded and will face the non-seed teams in the two-legged fixtures.

The first leg fixtures will take place at the lower-ranked team’s home.

The higher teams that have qualified for the playoffs are Senegal, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Nigeria.

The lower-ranked teams are Egypt, Cameroon, Ghana, Mali, Congo DR.

No chance of Egypt overtaking Nigeria in 5th position. Points gap is over 30pts.

Nigeria fit flop sef

Can't imagine the thought of Nigeria not making it to next year's Mundial. They should give their all during the playoffs no matter the opposition they are pit against

Even the lower ranked teams seem to be competitions for the higher ranked teams.
I just hope and pray God performs a miracle that will enable Osimhen feature in the playoffs.

Super eagles might not qualify with the way they are playing and the useless playing pitch in Lagos .

We have a good team though but poor coaching

Nigeria's qualification for the world cup is more sure than playing Bayern Munich over 0.5

All the best to the Super Eagles Of Nigeria.

This lazy Nigeria team won't make it . No magic about it

IF the BOYS were not serious with countries like Cape Verde, Liberia etc.. na EGYPT and Ghana dem go war against?

See what they have subjected SUPPORTERS CLUB to. Later they will start blowing Trumpet, singing things like;
" He's a miracle working God"

Any of these teams can beat Nigeria, and Nigeria can beat any of them as well..
Let's hope they get themselves together
