A stampede of supporters and the collapse of a stadium wall have resulted in 19 deaths prior to the CAF second group phase Group E match between Côte d’Ivoire and Malawi. Large numbers turned out at Stade Félix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan hoping to see the match on SUN 29 MAR 2009; according to reports, spectators were pushed into a wall that collapsed, and the resulting panic in the crowd led police to fire tear gas. 19 were killed, and 132 injured, in the crush. The match was allowed to go ahead. A similar incident occurred at an earlier 2010 Men’s World Cup qualifying match between Liberia and Gambia on SUN 01 JUN 2008, leaving ten dead.

The draw for the CAF third round of qualifiers for South Africa 2010 was not kind to Togo, Cameroon, or Morocco, all of whom ended up together in Group A. Burkina Faso’s strong performance in the second round earns them a meeting with Côte d’Ivoire in Group E, whilst Mali and Sudan are together again in Group D with Ghana and Benin. Only group winners qualify from this round, which begins in MAR 2009. more...
