 Caf wants to implement fair play |
The Confederation of African Football (Caf)has readjusted kick-off times for the final Nations Cup qualifying round in July. There are crucial matches scheduled for the weekend of 4 to 6 July, which will decide the remaining teams that will qualify for the Nations Cup.
Matches being played in the same group will begin at the same time.
The change in times only applies to groups with four teams each. Group winners are guaranteed an automatic qualifying spot at the 2004 Nations Cup tournament in Tunisia.
The last qualifier will be the best runner-up from the seven groups involving four teams.
Timetables for the groups with three teams remain unchanged.
Senegal, Nigeria and Algeria have already qualified for the tournament which will kick-off in Tunisia on 24 January.
Defending champions Cameroon will also join the hosts, Tunisia.
