Notes[edit]

^ Teams from Sierra Leone played their home matches in Liberia, since their only stadium which satisfies the criteria of hosting international matches - the Siaka Steven Stadium in Freetown is undergoing long term renovations.^[34]^[35]
^ Al Merrikh play their group stage home matches at Martyrs of February Stadium, Benghazi (Libya), instead of their regular home stadium Al Merrikh Stadium, Omdurman, which did not meet CAF requirements.
^ The CR Belouizdad v Al Merrikh match was played at 19 May 1956 Stadium, Annaba, instead of 5 July Stadium, Algiers, due to the high intensity of matches in the same period at the stadium.
