Eight teams were initially scheduled to play in this edition of the tournament, but two withdrew. This was the second and final edition of the tournament to be played on a home-and-away knockout basis, as CAF upgraded and rechristen the tournament to full-scale with the introduction of a group stage from the following edition onwards.
