Format

Eight knockout ties were originally drawn, involving the sixteen lowest ranked African countries.

Lesotho, Rwanda and Togo all withdrew after the draw was made. This meant their scheduled opponents – Zimbabwe, Zambia and Gabon – all advanced by walkover.

The winners of each tie advanced to the second round, where they were joined by the eight highest ranked African teams who received a bye in the first round.
