International football competition

The 2018–19 CAF Confederation Cup qualifying rounds were played from 27 November 2018 to 20 January 2019.[1] A total of 70 teams competed in the qualifying rounds to decide the 16 places in the group stage of the 2018–19 CAF Confederation Cup.[2]

Draw

The draw for the preliminary round and first round was held on 3 November 2018 in Rabat, Morocco, and was officially announced by the CAF on 9 November due to a special situation with the transitional calendar.[3][4][5]

The entry round of the 55 teams entered into the draw was determined by their performances in the CAF competitions for the previous five seasons (CAF 5-year ranking points shown in parentheses).

Format

In the qualifying rounds, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still tied, extra time would not be played, and the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (Regulations III. 13 & 14).[2]

Schedule

The schedule of each round was as follows (matches scheduled in midweek in italics).[1]

Round First leg Second leg
Preliminary round 27–28 November 2018 4–5 December 2018
First round 14–16 December 2018 21–23 December 2018
Play-off round 11–14 January 2019 18–20 January 2019

Bracket

The bracket of the draw was announced by the CAF on 9 November 2018.[5]

As there were 16 winners of the Confederation Cup first round, but only 15 losers of the Champions League first round for this season, the winners of the first round with the best CAF 5-year ranking (in bold italics) advanced directly to the group stage.[6] The remaining 15 winners of the first round advanced to the play-off round, where they were joined by the 15 losers of the Champions League first round.
