Group stage

The group draw took place on October 9, 2019. The 16 winners of the first round were divided into four lottery pots and drawn into four groups of four teams each. The teams were seeded according to their results in the CAF competitions of the last five seasons ( CAF five-year ranking ). The group winners and runners-up qualified for the quarter-finals, while those placed third and fourth were eliminated from the competition.

If two or more teams were tied, the placement was determined by the following criteria:

  1. Number of points in direct comparison
  2. Goal difference in direct comparison
  3. Number of goals in direct comparison
  4. Number of away goals in direct comparison
  5. If, after applying criteria 1 to 4, there are still several teams in the same place in the table, criteria 1 to 4 are reapplied, but only to the matches between the teams in question. Should this also not lead to a definitive placement, criteria 6 to 9 will be applied.
  6. Goal difference from all group matches
  7. Number of goals in all group matches
  8. Number of away goals in all group matches
  9. Drawing lots
