Notes
  1. ↑ Match held behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  2. ↑ The match was originally due to be played on 30 March 2021 in Freetown, but was postponed after five Benin players tested positive for COVID-19 and Benin refused to play, questioning the validity of the tests. [6] It was rearranged for 14 June 2021 at the General Lansana Conté Stadium in Conakry, Guinea, but Sierra Leone refused to play following positive COVID-19 tests for six of their players, with the match rearranged again for the following day at the same venue. [7]
  3. ↑ CAF awarded Benin a 3–0 win as a result of Rwanda fielding an ineligible player, Kevin Muhire, after the match had ended in a 1–1 draw. Muhire failed to serve a one-game ban after receiving two yellow cards in the qualifying competition. [25]
  4. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Home matches played at Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, Ivory Coast due to lack of a suitable stadium in Benin. [35]
