The 2018 CAF Confederation Cup qualifying rounds were played from 9 February to 18 April 2018.[1] A total of 70 teams competed in the qualifying rounds to decide the 16 places in the group stage of the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup.[2]
Draw[edit]
The draw for the preliminary round and first round was held on 13 December 2017 at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.[3][4]
The entry round of the 54 teams entered into the draw is determined by their performances in the CAF competitions for the previous five seasons (CAF 5-year ranking points shown in parentheses).
Format[edit]
In the qualifying rounds, each tie was 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 tied, extra time would not be played, and the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (Regulations III. 13 & 14).[2]
Schedule[edit]
The schedule of each round was as follows (matches scheduled in midweek in italics).[1]
