Qualification for the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations began with the first round during the week of 18–26 October 2021 and concluded with the second during the week of 14–23 February 2022. For the first time in the tournament's history, 12 teams, including hosts (Morocco),[1] qualified to play in the group stages.[2]

Format

Qualification ties were to be 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, even to the extent of a penalty shoot-out with no extra time played if scores are still tied to determine the winners.[3]

Draw

A record total of 44 out of 54 CAF member national teams entered qualification, whose draw was held on 10 May 2021 at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.[4]

  • In the first round, the 44 teams were drawn into 22 ties, with teams divided into six pots based on their geographical zones and those in the same pot drawn to play against each other.
  • In the second round, the preliminary round winners were allocated into 11 ties based on the first round tie numbers.
