1 Initially Togo entered the qualification but withdrew and were replaced by Ethiopia.[4] Togo were sanctioned by the CAF and excluded from participating in the 2018 tournament.[5]
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).[6]
The seven winners of the second round qualified for the final tournament.
The schedule of the qualifying rounds was as follows.[3]
