2018

The 2018–19 CAF Champions League qualifying rounds were played from 27 November to 23 December 2018.[1] A total of 56 teams competed in the qualifying rounds to decide 15 of the 16 places in the group stage of the 2018–19 CAF Champions League.[2]

Draw

[edit]

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 56 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]
