Notes
- † According to the formula for calculating the CAF 5-Year Ranking, Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, and Zambia are tied 12th place with 13 ranking points.

- Unranked associations have no ranking points and hence are equal 19th.
Moreover, eight losers from the 2012 CAF Champions League second round will enter the play-off round.
