Banned

 Togo were banned from 2012 to 2014 competitions after their withdraw from the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations. Togo appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). As a result, all sanctions are put on hold while the case is being heard. This would allow Togo to be included in the draw for the 2012 Nations Cup qualifying campaign.[4]
