2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF third round

A total of 20 teams which had advanced from the second round were drawn into five groups of four teams to play home-and-away round-robin matches. The winners of each group qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The draw for the third round was held on 24 June 2016, 17:00 EET (UTC+2), at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2015/m=11/news=june-draw-for-third-round-of-african-zone-qualifiers-2733952.html|title=June draw for third round of African Zone qualifiers|publisher=FIFA.com|date=20 November 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160401220031/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2015/m=11/news=june-draw-for-third-round-of-african-zone-qualifiers-2733952.html|archive-date=1 April 2016|df=dmy-all}}

This allowed the rankings to include results of the Africa Cup of Nations qualification games played between 3–5 June 2016.{{cite web |title=OFFICIAL: Egypt in Pot 2 for African World Cup qualifiers draw |url=http://www.kingfut.com/2016/06/08/egypt-ranking-world-cup-draw/ |work=kingfut.com |date=8 June 2016 |access-date=9 June 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160609142720/http://www.kingfut.com/2016/06/08/egypt-ranking-world-cup-draw/ |archive-date=9 June 2016 |df=dmy-all }} However, following a complaint by the Egyptian Football Association, it was reported that a further special ranking would be used.{{cite web |title=PHOTO: FIFA to release new special ranking for Africa |url=http://www.kingfut.com/2016/06/16/fifa-release-new-special-ranking/ |work=kingfut.com |date=16 June 2016 |access-date=16 June 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160617135939/http://www.kingfut.com/2016/06/16/fifa-release-new-special-ranking/ |archive-date=17 June 2016 |df=dmy-all }} This seeding was released on 21 June.{{cite web |title=2018 FIFA W/Cup draw holds Friday |url=http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/2018-fifa-wcup-draw-holds-friday/ |work=Vanguard Nigeria |date=22 June 2016 |access-date=22 June 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160622005220/http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/2018-fifa-wcup-draw-holds-friday/ |archive-date=22 June 2016 |df=dmy-all }} Following further complaints,{{cite web |title=FIFA cancels corrected ranking, keeping Egypt in Pot 2 |url=http://www.kingfut.com/2016/06/22/fifa-cancels-new-special-ranking-successful-tunisia-lobby/ |work=kingfut.com |date=22 June 2016 |access-date=23 June 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160623150354/http://www.kingfut.com/2016/06/22/fifa-cancels-new-special-ranking-successful-tunisia-lobby/ |archive-date=23 June 2016 |df=dmy-all }} the Emergency Bureau for the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers reversed the change, and restored the initial special rankings.{{cite web |title=Africa gears up for draw for third round of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers |url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2016/m=6/news=africa-gears-up-for-draw-for-third-round-of-2018-fifa-world-cup-qualif-2803173.html |work=FIFA.com |date=22 June 2016 |access-date=23 June 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160623140822/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2016/m=6/news=africa-gears-up-for-draw-for-third-round-of-2018-fifa-world-cup-qualif-2803173.html |archive-date=23 June 2016 |df=dmy-all }}
