12 teams in the table below

South Africa was chosen to host the FIFA World Cup 2010 after beating countries like Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco in the bidding.

10 teams already qualified for CHAN Sudan February 4-25, 2011 finals. 12 teams will battle it out this weekend for the remaining 6 spots.

1. Morocco vs Tunisia
“With the return leg at Al Jadida on June 5th in mind, it was important for us to get a good result at home before heading to al-Maghrib.” Rami (www.tunisia.worldcupblog.org)

2. Kenya vs Uganda
Uganda Cranes coach Bobby Williamson: “it’s a crucial game. Win or lose it, it’s one that will change the face of Ugandan football.”

3. Rwanda vs Tanzania
Rwanda champions APR were crowned the new CECAFA Club Cup Champions after beating St. George from Ethiopia 2-0 in extra time at the Amahoro Stadium, Kigali last Saturday night. After a barren regulation time, APR turned on the heat in extra time scoring via Malawian Chiukepo Msowoya (you remember him?) in the 93rd minute and Malawian Victor Nyirenda in the 95th. Malawian Elvis Kafoteka also plays for APR . The Malawians will not help Rwanda this weekend.

4. Zambia vs South Africa
South Africa development squad coach Simon Ngomane: “I must be the first one to admit that it will be a tough match. Zambia is a very tough opponent that we cannot afford to underrate. We are here to win and qualify for the finals and I think we have done our home work,” he said. He added that beating Zambia would be the best tonic to inspire the senior team, the Bafana Bafana, as the Rainbow Nation opens its doors to the world for the FIFA World Cup starting with their opener against Mexico next Friday.

5. Zimbabwe vs Seychelles
Six members of Zimbabwe’s CHAN squad got a dream run against five-time world champions Brazil in a massive international friendly at the National Sports Stadium on Wednesday. “It was an honour to play against Brazil and we had a lot of lessons from that game. We learnt the importance of keeping the ball, which is very important in that it helps you to control the game. The Brazilians were keeping the ball and it made it easier for them to control the pace of the game and to create openings.

6. Malawi vs Angola
Angola Coach Herve Renard (former Zambia Coach): “It will be a very difficult game because the advantage at the moment is with Malawi. But we are strong enough to get the qualification. The CHAN is the target because I think it is a good tournament to test readiness of some players for international competitions.”
