Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The Benin v Equatorial Guinea match was postponed from the original date of 5 June 2016 to 12 June 2016, due to the suspension of the Fédération Béninoise de Football by FIFA. The match would be cancelled and the CAF would rule on the case if the condition for lifting the suspension was not met by 11 June 2016.[4] A new president was elected on 10 June 2016, and as a result, the suspension was lifted and the match would take place accordingly.[5]
