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

- Notes
- ^ Nigeria withdrew from the tournament, therefore Tunisia qualified automatically.[5]
- ^ 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]
- ^ Libya played their home match in Tunisia due to security concerns.
