CAF released the official match schedule for the tournament on 29 May 2025. The top two teams of each group, along with the best two third-placed teams, advanced to the quarter-finals.
Tiebreakers Teams were ranked according to
points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Article 74): • Points in head-to-head matches match between the two tied teams; •
Goal difference in all group matches; • Goals scored in all group matches; • Drawing of lots. If more than two teams were tied, the following criteria were applied instead: • Points in matches between the tied teams; • Goal difference in matches between the tied teams; • Goals scored in matches between the tied teams; • If after applying all criteria above, two teams were still tied, the above criteria were again applied to matches played between the two teams in question. If this did not resolve the tie, the next three criteria were applied; • Goal difference in all group matches; • Goals scored in all group matches; • Drawing of lots.
