Format

• In case any qualification ties are played on a home-and-away two-legged basis: If the aggregate score is tied after the second leg, the away goals rule is applied, and if still tied, the penalty shoot-out (no extra time) is used to determine the winner.
• In case any qualification groups are played on a round-robin basis: Teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings: ^[6]

1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
4. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
5. Goal difference in all group matches;
6. Goals scored in all group matches;
7. Drawing of lots.

Notes

1. Gambia had only 1 substitute in their lineup as 7 of their players failed the MRI test. The referee stopped the match at the 62nd minute, the Gambians complaining that the lighting of the stadium was insufficient and had their only goalkeeper injured. The referee finished the match at the 62nd minute as Gambia was unable to continue. Mali qualified for the semi-final and since there were only 2 teams in the group after the withdrawal of Liberia, CAF announced that the team finishing 2nd in Group B was ineligible to be ranked in the table for the best 2nd place team. ^{[13] [14]}
2. Kick-off of the match between Mauritania and Cape Verde was moved from 21:00 to 18:30, and the match between Cape Verde and Guinea was moved from 21:00 to 16:30, after the withdrawal of Liberia from Group B.
3. Venue of the match between Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast was moved from Stade Municipal to Stade Général Seyni Kountché after the disqualification of Benin.
4. Kick-off of the match between Equatorial Guinea and Congo was moved from 19:00 to 16:00 after the disqualification of São Tomé and Príncipe.
5. Kick-off of the matches between Burundi and Rwanda, Sudan and Tanzania, and Rwanda and Tanzania, were moved from 17:00 to 16:00, and the match between Burundi and Sudan was moved from 14:00 to 16:00, after the withdrawal of Somalia.
6. Kick-off of the matches between Uganda and Djibouti, was moved from 14:00 to 15:00, and the match between Ethiopia and Kenya was moved from 17:00 to 15:00 and venue moved from Chamazi Stadium to National Stadium, to ensure fairness for the final round of matches.
