Squads

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Main article: 2016 African Nations Championship squads

Each squad can contain a maximum of 23 players.[5] Only national team players who are playing in their country's own domestic league are eligible to compete in the tournament. For example, a Rwandan player is only eligible to play for the Rwanda national team if he is playing for a Rwandan club.

Draw

The draw for the final tournament of the competition took place on 15 November 2015 (brought forward from 18 November), 18:30 CAT (UTC+2), in Kigali, Rwanda.[3][6] The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four.[7]

The teams were seeded based on their results in the three most recent final tournaments: 2009 (multiplied by 1), 2011 (multiplied by 2), and 2014 (multiplied by 3):[8]

  • 7 points for winner
  • 5 points for runner-up
  • 3 points for semi-finalists
  • 2 points for quarter-finalists
  • 1 point for group stage

Based on the formula above, the four pots were allocated as follows:

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4

Group stage

The top two teams of each group advance to the quarter-finals.

Tiebreakers

The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:[5]

  1. Number of points obtained in games between the teams concerned;
  2. Goal difference in games between the teams concerned;
  3. Goals scored in games between the teams concerned;
  4. If, after applying criteria 1 to 3 to several teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 7 apply;
  5. Goal difference in all games;
  6. Goals scored in all games;
  7. Drawing of lots.

All times are local, CAT (UTC+2).[9]
