Rwanda profile:
Qualification history
Rwanda’s qualifying campaign for the 1998 FIFA World Cup France™ was the country’s first bid to reach world football’s showpiece event. The Wasps are yet to make it beyond the group phase of qualifying, and their South Africa 2010 campaign ended on a particularly disappointing note as they failed to record a single victory in their final preliminary group. The players and fans will no doubt be hoping for a marked improvement this time around. 

The current crop
With the exception of the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations, Rwanda have never appeared at an international tournament. But with a talented crop of youngsters at their disposal – many of whom played at the recent FIFA U-17 World Cup 2011 Mexico – the future certainly looks promising for the country’s national team. 

The key players
Very few Rwandan players are based overseas, so the bulk of the national team squad is drawn from major domestic club sides APR FC and Rayon Sports. Powerful forward Olivier Karekezi is one of the few players to have found success abroad, and his considerable experience of Scandinavian football should make him a key figure in the Rwandan side for years to come.

Coach: Milutin Sredojevic
Best performance in a FIFA competition: None

Benin:
Qualification history
Benin are still awaiting their maiden finals place after missing out in five previous qualifying campaigns, but they came closest to making their breakthrough last time around. The Squirrels finished second behind Ghana in Group D and matched the section winners head to head, with both teams sealing 1-0 home triumphs. Effective on home soil, where they won twice and drew once, Benin’s dreams of reaching South Africa 2010 were sunk by their difficulties on their travels.

The current crop
Despite that disappointment, the Squirrels have made sure to build on the experience. Progress continues for the small but ambitious West African nation, who soon hope to be competing on an equal footing with the continent’s traditional powers.

The key players
No one is more crucial to the side than talisman Stephane Sessegnon, the explosive midfielder able to bring experience of both Ligue 1 and the Premier League to the table. Benin are likewise served well by forward Razak Omotoyossi, who turned plenty of heads during the 2005 edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Coach: Manuel Amoros
Best performance in a FIFA competition: FIFA U-20 World Cup Netherlands 2005 (Group stages)
Former stars: Jimmy Adjovi-Boco, Oumar Tchomogo, Alain Gaspoz
