- Central African Republic's second and third home matches in the World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Ethiopia were played at a neutral venue due to continued political instability in the Central African Republic.[4][5]

- FIFA awarded Tunisia a 3–0 win as a result of Cape Verde fielding the player Fernando Varela, who had been sent off in the match against Equatorial Guinea on 24 March 2013. As a result of his sending off for unsporting conduct towards a match official, Varela had been given a four match suspension and would miss the rest of the qualifying campaign plus one further FIFA game. Varela did not participate in the games against Equatorial Guinea on 8 June 2013 or the game against Sierra Leone on 16 June 2013. Complicating matters, Varela's red card against Equatorial Guinea was removed from the FIFA.com website.[7] The match originally ended 2–0 to Cape Verde.[8]

- The venue of Libya's home match against Togo was changed from Martyrs of February Stadium, Benina to June 11 Stadium, Tripoli following security incidents in Benghazi.[19]
- Senegal had to play their last two home matches in the World Cup qualifiers against Angola and Uganda at a neutral venue, due to a one-year ban from playing at their home stadium imposed by the CAF following riots in their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Ivory Coast.[20][21]
- FIFA awarded Angola a 3–0 win as a result of Liberia fielding the ineligible player Nathaniel Sherman. The match originally ended 4–1 to Angola.[22]
