The qualification procedure for the 2014 African Women's Championship , the continent's women's association football championship started on 14 February 2014. A record 25 teams applied for the 2014 African Women's Championship. [1] Four teams eventually withdrew before playing any match.
This tournament also served as the first stage of qualification for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup for the African zone.
Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the sides were level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule was applied, and if still level, the tie proceeded directly to a penalty shoot-out (no extra time was played). [2]
The best placed teams from the 2012 tournament Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and South Africa received a bye to the second round.
The first round was held on 14–16 February (first leg) and 28 February–2 March 2014 (second leg). [3]
