2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification Group H

Group H of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification tournament is one of the 12 groups that will decide the teams which qualify for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations finals tournament. The group consist of four teams: Algeria, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.[1]

The teams will play against each other in home-and-away round-robin format between November 2019 and September 2020.[2][3]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all matches of matchdays 3 and 4 scheduled for March 2020 had been postponed until further notice.[4] FIFA had recommended that all June 2020 international matches (matchday 5) be postponed,[5] and also postponed the September 2020 window (matchday 6) for CAF.[6]

On 30 June 2020, the CAF announced the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations final tournament had been postponed from January 2021 to January 2022, without announcing the new dates of the remaining qualifiers.[7]

Notes
gollark: Just take your regular house, translate it up a bit if it has a basement, then rotate it 180 degrees around the centre of the bottom floor. You now have a bunker.
gollark: Bold of you to assume I have a bunker.
gollark: It's a joke. It probably won't. Not for this reason anyway.
gollark: After society falls, only the strong survive... and also those with toilet paper for some reason.
gollark: Perhaps they have developed a way to transmute toilet paper into food.
