Format
[edit]In the group stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the quarter-finals of the knockout stage.
Tiebreakers

- Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Away goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Goals scored in all group matches;
- Away goals scored in all group matches;
- Drawing of lots.

- ^ FIFA suspended the Sudan Football Association on 7 July 2017.[8] As a result, Al-Hilal Al-Ubayyid could not play their final group match against ZESCO United, and the match was awarded as a 3–0 win to their opponents.[9] Initially, Al-Hilal Al-Ubayyid were disqualified from the CAF Confederation Cup,[10] but following the lifting of the suspension on 13 July,[11] they were reinstated to the competition, and advanced to the knockout stage instead of Recreativo do Libolo.[9]
