      • The 2016 CAF Confederation Cup group stage was played from 17 June to 24 August 2016. A total of eight teams competed in the group stage to decide the four places in the knockout stage of the 2016 CAF Confederation Cup.


      Draw


      The draw for the group stage was held on 24 May 2016, 14:30 EET (UTC+2), at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt. The eight teams were drawn into two groups of four.
      The eight teams, all winners of the play-off round, were seeded by their performances in the CAF competitions for the previous five seasons (CAF 5-year ranking points shown in parentheses): two teams in Pot 1 and six teams in Pot 2. One team from Pot 1 and three teams from Pot 2 were drawn into each group, with each team then assigned a random "position" in the group to determine the fixtures.


      Format


      In the group stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the semi-finals.


      = Tiebreakers

      =
      The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers would be applied in the following order (Regulations III. 20 & 21):

      Number of points obtained in games between the teams concerned;
      Goal difference in games between the teams concerned;
      Goals scored in games between the teams concerned;
      Away goals scored in games between the teams concerned;
      If, after applying criteria 1 to 4 to several teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 4 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 6 to 9 apply;
      Goal difference in all games;
      Goals scored in all games;
      Away goals scored in all games;
      Drawing of lots.
