African zone (CAF)

In 2012, Toronto Zoo received three white lions to their African zone and replacing the single white lioness the zoo had since 1996.

Lentas falls in the North African climatic zone and thus enjoys significantly more sunny days and high temperatures during the summer.

For the first time, the winners of both the African zone and the Asian and Oceanian zone were guaranteed a direct place in the final tournament.

In the African zone, aggregate score was used to determine the winners of two-legged ties.

South Africa and Nigeria have qualified from the African zone.

While 4 other Anteosauridae were found in the Isheevo region, Anteosaurus was the only anteosaurid predator in the South African temperate zone.

Zaire, the champion of the African zone, has lost three straight games in its first Olympic appearance.

He captained the national in the last four final qualifiers of the qualifying of the African zone.

The African zone was allocated 3 places (out of 24) in the final tournament.
