The CAF second round of 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification began on 5 June 2004 and finished on 8 October 2005.
The highest-ranked country in each group at the end of the stage qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. This round also doubled as qualification for the 2006 African Cup of Nations, for which the top three teams from each group qualified.
The 30 teams (9 teams given a bye directly to the second round and 21 winners from the first round) were split into five groups of six teams each – with all teams playing home and away against each of the other five teams in the group.
The highest-ranked team in each group qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, while the top three teams qualified for the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations (except in Egypt's case; since Egypt qualified for the tournament directly as hosts, fourth-placed Libya qualified in its place.)
The draw was held on 5 December 2003 in Frankfurt, Germany. The thirty eligible teams were divided into six groups of five teams. Pot A contained the five teams that had participated in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, while the teams in pots B–F were ranked based on the most recent FIFA world ranking. [1]
