Format

Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still level, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (no extra time would be played).[3]

The six winners of the preliminary round qualified for the final tournament.

Schedule

The schedule of the qualifying rounds was as follows.[2]

Round Leg Date
Preliminary round First leg 6 December 2015

Sudan  4–14  Libya 4–9 0–5[C]
Notes
  1. ^ Nigeria withdrew from this tournament, therefore Tunisia qualified automatically.[5]
  2. ^ In the second leg between Equatorial Guinea and Zambia, the referees incorrectly played extra time when the score at full time was 5–4 to Equatorial Guinea (7–7 on aggregate), which Equatorial Guinea went on to win 7–5 (8–7 on aggregate). CAF's rules state that the team with the most away goals wins in the event of a tie,[3] and so CAF later declared the extra time played null and void, and Zambia the winners by virtue of the away goals rule.[6]
  3. ^ Libya played their home match in Tunisia due to security concerns.
