Notes
  1. ^ Match held behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  2. ^ The match was originally due to be played on 30 March 2021 in Freetown, but was postponed after five Benin players tested positive for COVID-19 and Benin refused to play, questioning the validity of the tests.[6] It was rearranged for 14 June 2021 at the General Lansana Conté Stadium in Conakry, Guinea, but Sierra Leone refused to play following positive COVID-19 tests for six of their players, with the match rearranged again for the following day at the same venue.[7]
  3. ^ CAF awarded Benin a 3–0 win as a result of Rwanda fielding an ineligible player, Kevin Muhire, after the match had ended in a 1–1 draw. Muhire failed to serve a one-game ban after receiving two yellow cards in the qualifying competition.[25]
  4. ^ a b c d e f Home matches played at Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, Ivory Coast due to lack of a suitable stadium in Benin.[35]
