The 2016 Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations qualifying rounds decide the participating teams of the final tournament.

Due to being just 14 teams in qualifying compared to 19 at the previous edition, there was only one round of qualifiers this year where seven teams emerged to join host Nigeria for the final tournament. [2] [3]

Qualification ties are played on a home-and-away, two-legged basis. If the sides are level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule is applied, and if still level, the tie proceeds directly to a penalty shoot-out (no extra time is played). [4]
