JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The start of the group stages of the African qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup could be postponed for a second time to September, a special advisor to Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Patrice Motsepe said on Wednesday.

The qualifiers are scheduled to begin in early June, having already been postponed from October last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But a clampdown by CAF on poor stadium facilities across the continent could force another delay.
