Participating teams

edit

Nine teams, the same number of teams that participated in the 2009 qualifiers, confirmed their participation in the competition:[2]

It was originally announced that Congo DR would field a team for this tournament, but were forced to withdraw due to what is termed as 'serious administrative problems.'[3]

Group stage

edit

Due to Congo DR's withdrawal, it was determined that the nine teams will be divided into three groups of three, with the teams in each group participating in a round-robin format. The winners of each group, along with the best second-place finisher, will advance to the knockout round.

The draw to determine the groupings and schedule for the nine teams was held in Casablanca on 13 June 2011.[4]

All match times are correct to that of local time in Casablanca, being Western European Summer Time, (UTC +1).
