The 2016 African Nations Championship (also referred to as CHAN 2016) was the 4th edition of the African Nations Championship, the biennial international football championship organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for the men's national teams of Africa featuring exclusively players from their respective national leagues. The tournament was held in Rwanda between 16 January and 7 February 2016.[1] A total of 16 teams played in the tournament.

This edition is the first time that all group runners-up made it into the semi-finals.

Squads

Main article: 2016 African Nations Championship squads

Each squad could contain a maximum of 23 players.[5] Only national team players who were playing in their country's own domestic league were eligible to compete in the tournament. For example, a Rwandan player was only eligible to play for the Rwanda national team if he was playing for a Rwandan club.

Draw

The draw for the final tournament of the competition took place on 15 November 2015 (brought forward from 18 November), 18:30 CAT (UTC+2), in Kigali, Rwanda.[3][6] The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four.[7]

The teams were seeded based on their results in the three most recent final tournaments: 2009 (multiplied by 1), 2011 (multiplied by 2), and 2014 (multiplied by 3):[8]

  • 7 points for winner
  • 5 points for runner-up
  • 3 points for semi-finalists
  • 2 points for quarter-finalists
  • 1 point for group stage

Based on the formula above, the four pots were allocated as follows:

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4

Group stage

The top two teams of each group advanced to the quarter-finals.

Tiebreakers

The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers would be applied in the following order:[5]

  1. Number of points obtained in games between the teams concerned;
  2. Goal difference in games between the teams concerned;
  3. Goals scored in games between the teams concerned;
  4. If, after applying criteria 1 to 3 to several teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 7 apply;
  5. Goal difference in all games;
  6. Goals scored in all games;
  7. Drawing of lots.

All times were local, CAT (UTC+2).[9]
