Both the qualifying rounds and the final tournament were open to full women's national teams (unlike the men's tournament, which was age-restricted).

Teams

A total of 17 teams entered the qualifying rounds, organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

The seven winners of the second round qualified for the final tournament.
