  1. ^ FIFA awarded Botswana a 3–0 win as a result of Ethiopia fielding the ineligible player Minyahile Beyene. The match originally ended 2–1 to Ethiopia.[3][4]
  2. ^ a b Central African Republic's second and third home matches in the World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Ethiopia were played at a neutral venue due to continued political instability in the Central African Republic.[5][6]
  3. ^ FIFA awarded Cape Verde a 3–0 win as a result of Equatorial Guinea fielding the ineligible player Emilio Nsue. The match originally ended 4–3 to Equatorial Guinea.[7]
  4. ^ FIFA awarded Cape Verde a 3–0 win as a result of Equatorial Guinea fielding the ineligible player Emilio Nsue. The match originally ended 2–1 to Cape Verde.[7]
  5. ^ FIFA awarded Tunisia a 3–0 win as a result of Cape Verde fielding the player Fernando Varela, who had been sent off in the match against Equatorial Guinea on 24 March 2013. As a result of his sending off for unsporting conduct towards a match official, Varela had been given a four match suspension and would miss the rest of the qualifying campaign plus one further FIFA game. Varela did not participate in the games against Equatorial Guinea on 8 June 2013 or the game against Sierra Leone on 16 June 2013. Complicating matters, Varela's red card against Equatorial Guinea was removed from the FIFA.com website.[8] The match originally ended 2–0 to Cape Verde.[9]
  6. ^ FIFA awarded Zambia a 3–0 win as a result of Sudan fielding the ineligible player Saif Eldin. The match originally ended 2–0 to Sudan.[10][11]

  10. ^ Mali's opening home match in the World Cup qualifiers against Algeria was played at a neutral venue due to continued political instability in Mali.[16]
  11. ^ Libya's opening home match in the World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon was played at a neutral venue. The match was ordered to be played behind closed doors due to security concerns, but the official match report indicates a small crowd was present.[17]
  12. ^ FIFA awarded Cameroon a 3–0 win as a result of Togo fielding the ineligible player Alaixys Romao. The match originally ended 2–0 to Togo.[18][19]
  13. ^ The venue of Libya's home match against Togo was changed from Martyrs of February Stadium, Benina to June 11 Stadium, Tripoli following security incidents in Benghazi.[20]
  14. ^ a b Senegal had to play their last two home matches in the World Cup qualifiers against Angola and Uganda at a neutral venue, due to a one-year ban from playing at their home stadium imposed by the CAF following riots in their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Ivory Coast.[21][22]
  15. ^ FIFA awarded Angola a 3–0 win as a result of Liberia fielding the ineligible player Nathaniel Sherman. The match originally ended 4–1 to Angola.[23]
