The Confederation of African Football announced that the 2011 Futsal Championship has been cancelled. Burkina Faso withdrew from hosting the event which was meant to start at the beginning of April and a replacement could not be found therefore the championship wasn't held.

A separate qualifying tournament was organized for qualification to the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup.
