South Sudan's debut in World Cup qualifying was abandoned because of heavy rain on Wednesday with the score 1-1 against Mauritania.
Mauritania led after three minutes and South Sudan equalized in the fifth before the weather forced the first-leg game to be called off in the South Sudanese capital Juba.
The world's newest nation, currently embroiled in civil war, is taking part in the early stages of the 2018 World Cup after being admitted as a member of FIFA in 2012.
Also in Africa's first round of qualifying, the small Indian Ocean island of Comoros drew 0-0 with Lesotho, Burundi won 1-0 at Seychelles, and Tanzania beat Malawi 2-0.
