Format

edit

Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still level, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (no extra time would be played).

The seven winners of the final round qualified for the final tournament.

Nigeria won 12–3 on aggregate and qualified for the final tournament.

DR Congo  Cancelled  Gabon

Originally, DR Congo qualified for the final tournament after Gabon withdrew. DR Congo subsequently withdrew, meaning CAF were required to select a lucky loser to qualify for the final tournament.

Team Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts
  Mali 2 0 1 1 2 3 −1 1
  Congo 2 0 1 1 0 2 −2 1
  Tanzania 2 0 0 2 0 7 −7 0

  Malawi 2 0 0 2 0 9 −9 0
  Guinea 2 0 0 2 0 22 −22 0

Mali, as the lucky loser, thus qualified for the final tournament.
