2016 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations

The 2016 Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations, also known as the 2016 CAF Beach Soccer Championship, was a beach soccer tournament which took place in Lagos, Nigeria in December, to determine the best beach soccer nation in Africa and doubles as a qualification event for the 2017 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, with the two finalists progressing to the finals in the Bahamas.[1] This was the first time that the tournament is held in Nigeria.

The 2016 Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations qualifying rounds decide the participating teams of the final tournament.

Due to being just 14 teams in qualifying compared to 19 at the previous edition, there was only one round of qualifiers this year where seven teams emerged to join host Nigeria for the final tournament.[2][3]

Qualification ties are played on a home-and-away, two-legged basis. If the sides are level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule is applied, and if still level, the tie proceeds directly to a penalty shoot-out (no extra time is played).[4]
