Obvious reasons in both cases, but in terms of football, it is a big blow for Burkina Faso and Guinea in particular. These are usually quite strong teams who have a bigger chance to qualify with it being 9 teams rather than 5. An away trip to Conakry or Ouagadougou is a tough task for any team on the continent. Won't be nearly as difficult on a neutral pitch.
