The unranked East African nation was set to travel to Morocco, who are 13th in the world rankings, on 16 November.

Group E of African qualifiers will now be contested by the five remaining teams: Morocco, Zambia, Congo, Tanzania and Niger.

World governing body, Fifa confirmed Eritrea’s withdrawal on its website.

“All of Eritrea’s matches have been cancelled, while the rest of the match schedule for Group E remains unchanged,” a statement said.

The winners of Group E will automatically qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals, which will be held in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Eritrea’s last international was a friendly against Sudan in January 2020, while their most recent competitive game was in September 2019 as part of the qualifying process for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Last year, Eritrea withdrew from qualifying for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, giving their opponents Botswana a bye through to the group stage.
