The draw for the play-off round was held on 21 April 2016, 14:00 EET (UTC+2), at the CAF Headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.[9][10] The winners of the Confederation Cup second round were drawn against the losers of the Champions League second round, with the former hosting the second leg.

  • Pot A contained the two highest-ranked winners of the Confederation Cup second round.
  • Pot B contained the six lowest-ranked losers of the Champions League second round.
  • Pot C contained the two highest-ranked losers of the Champions League second round.
  • Pot D contained the six lowest-ranked losers of the Confederation Cup second round.

First, a team from Pot A and a team from Pot B were drawn into two ties. Next, a team from Pot C and a team from Pot D were drawn into two ties. Finally, the remaining teams from Pot B and Pot D were drawn into the last four ties.[12]
