2011 CAF Confederation Cup qualifying rounds
Dates28 January – 27 February 2011
← 2010
2012

These are the summaries of the matches in the qualifying rounds for the group stage of the 2011 CAF Confederation Cup.

The schedule for the tournament was released in October 2010,[1] and the draw for the first three rounds was held in Cairo on 20 December 2010.[2] The draw for the play-off round (together with the draw for the group stage) was held in Cairo on 15 May 2010.[3]

Qualification ties were decided over two legs, with aggregate goals used to determine the winner. If the sides were level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule applied, and if still level, the tie proceeded directly to a penalty shootout (no extra time is played).[4]

Preliminary round

This was a knock-out stage of the 40 teams that did not receive byes to the first round.

First legs: 28–30 January 2011; Second legs: 11–13 and 25–27 February 2011.[5]
