Notes

1. ^ The UNAF qualifiers match between Libya and Egypt, and Egypt and Tunisia, to be played on 15 December and 18 December respectively, but were scratched as Egypt were unable to field 15 players due to their squad members testing positive for SARS-2 coronavirus. Subsequently, Libya and Tunisia were awarded a technical 2–0 victory by CAF in accordance with the regulations related to COVID-19.
2. The West A Zone group stage match between Mali and Guinea-Bissau to be played on 21 November 2020, 16:00 GMT, at Stade Lat-Dior, Thiès, could not be played due to eight players from Mali testing positive for SARS-2 coronavirus. Mali thus were not able to name the required 15 players for holding the match and subsequently Guinea-Bissau were awarded a technical 2–0 victory by CAF in accordance with the regulations related to COVID-19.
