Thirty-six sides entered the competition. It was the first season when the CAF started to take disciplinary actions against teams withdrawing from the competition by banning them for three years. These actions were taken against Masvingo United from Zimbabwe who withdrew before the first leg of the preliminary round and JS Pobè from Benin who failed to show for their first leg match of the first round. Tanzania was not represented by JKT Ruvu Stars after the Tanzania Football Federation failed to confirm participation to CAF, while Liberian side Mighty Blue Angles were disqualified following failure to meet the deadline for submitting players' licenses. No disciplinary actions were taken against either team.
