This tournament also served as the first stage of qualification for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup for the African zone.
Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the sides were level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule was applied, and if still level, the tie proceeded directly to a penalty shoot-out (no extra time was played).[2]
