Ghana amongst Africa's top five
seeds for the final qualifying
for the 2014 World Cup but
Tunisia take the place of the
disqualified Cape Verde.
The Black Stars and four other
group winners from the second
round qualifiers, Ivory Coast,
Algeria and Nigeria and Tunisia
based on the FIFA ranking
following Cape Verde's
disqualification for fielding an
ineligible player.
Tunisia whom Cape Verde
fielded an eligible player against
in their Group B campaign thus qualify for the final round.
All five teams will avoid each other in the draw for Africa's third round
qualifying.

Ghana can draw either Egypt, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Senegal or Cameroon for
the two-leg ties, with the winners going to the finals in Brazil.
