Qualification history
Lesotho have an inconsistent history trying to qualify for the FIFA World Cup™. Affiliated with FIFA since 1964, they did not attempt to make the tournament until 1974. Eight years later, the Crocodiles were unsuccessful again, and it wasn't until Korea Republic/Japan 2002 that they again entered the preliminaries in earnest. South Africa proved to be much too strong in that case, while four years later Botswana also had their number. Four years ago, Lesotho started off their first qualifying group phase with an encouraging 3-2 loss to Ghana. Unfortunately, they did not score again and lost the rest of their six matches.

The current crop
Recent success by Lesotho’s U-20 team in reaching the continental finals, something the senior side has failed to do, is a positive sign. The nucleus of that team will be expected to contribute, especially as they missed out on the chance to gain experience in qualifying for the 2012 CAF Africa Cup of Nations.

The key players
South Africa-based captain and linchpin Lehlohonolo Seema can bring solidity to the Lesotho defence if he stays fit, while Bokang Mothoana is a promising midfielder.

Qualifying history
Sudan may be one of the oldest national sides in Africa, but despite their venerable age have never qualified for the finals of the FIFA World Cup™. Sudanese football had its greatest year in 1970, when the national side won the Africa Cup of Nations for the first and last time in their history and dominated the second stage of FIFA World Cup qualifiers to reach the final round, where they faced Nigeria and Morocco. However, the national side were unable to recreate their previous form and three draws and a single loss to eventual qualifiers Morocco were not enough.

The current crop
In January this year Sudan took part in the Nile Basin Tournament, a friendly competition with seven competing nations held in the Egyptian city of Ismailia. The result, a fifth place finish courtesy of two losses to Kenya and Congo DR and a lone victory over Tanzania was disappointing, but Sudan returned to their best in the qualifiers for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. They remain in contention for a spot at the finals as they battle it out at the fore of Group I with favourites Ghana.

The key players
Midfielder and team captain Haitham Mostafa is the most acclaimed Sudanese players of recent times, his performances one of the main reasons for Sudan’s qualification for the African Cup of Nations in 2008, after a 30-year absence from the competition. Another two players crucial to the side’s success are sharpshooters Mohammed Ahmed Bisha and Bakri Al Medina who play with Mostafa at Sudanese club Al Hilal.
