Qualification stage

Zone I (North Africa)

Libya and Morocco withdrew.

Algeria withdrew in protest of CAF's decision to order a replay of the first leg following Tunisia's protest that Algeria had fielded two professional players (Rabah Madjer and Chérif Oudjani).

CAF also rescinded an earlier decision to appoint Algeria as the replacement host of the 1988 African Cup of Nations finals (replacing original host Zambia), and awarded them to Morocco instead.

Tunisia qualified.
