Note: Madagascar were originally to qualify automatically as hosts, but had their hosting rights withdrawn and were replaced by Gabon (which played in the qualifiers and were eliminated in the third round).[3]
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).[4]
The seven winners of the third round qualified for the final tournament.
The first legs are scheduled for 24–26 June 2016, and the second legs are scheduled for 1–3 July 2016.[2]
