Notes
  1. ^
    CS Sfaxien advanced to the group stage after the Enugu Rangers, which had originally won 1–0 on aggregate, were ruled by the CAF to have fielded an ineligible player in the second leg and thus disqualified.

Rules edit

The final was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the sides were level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule was applied, and if still level, the tie proceeded directly to a penalty shoot-out (no extra time was played).[2]
