^Title holders (TH): Usually, the association of the title holders is not allowed to enter more than the eligible number of teams according to the CAF 5-Year Ranking (Regulations IV. 5).[4] However, due to the transitional calendar where the 2018–19 CAF Confederation Cup began before the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup Final, the identity of the title holders was not known at the time of the draw. As a result, it was decided that the association of the title holders would be allowed exceptionally to enter a third team for this season. As Raja won the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup, they entered the competition and received a bye to the first round.[5].
