Notes

  1. CAF awarded Zamalek a 3–0 win after Académie SOAR failed to travel to Egypt.
  2. Upon arriving to Algeria, RS Berkane official kits were seized by Algerian authorities, who refused to allow them to wear it in the match against USM Alger, due to the shirts featuring a map of Morocco that includes Western Sahara, which is a disputed territory that Morocco claims to be part of their land, while Algeria recognize it as part of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. The match was cancelled as a result. On 24 April, CAF awarded RS Berkane a 3–0 win.
  3. RS Berkane won on walkover after USM Alger withdrew from the match, despite arriving to the stadium. The match was cancelled as a result, and RS Berkane were awarded a 3–0 win on 1 May 2024.
  4. ^ Each team was only given three opportunities to make substitutions, excluding substitutions made at half-time.
