The 2015 CAF Beach Soccer Championship, also known as the 2015 Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations, was a beach soccer tournament which took place in Roche Caiman, Seychelles on 14–19 April 2015. This was the first time that the CAF Beach Soccer Championship was held in Seychelles. All matches were played at the Roche Caiman Sports Complex.
As well as crowning the best beach soccer nation in Africa, the tournament served as the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup qualifier for teams from Africa which are members of CAF, where the top two teams qualified for the 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Portugal. In the final, Madagascar defeated Senegal to be crowned champions, and both teams qualified for the 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
The 2015 CAF Beach Soccer Championship qualifying rounds decided the participating teams of the final tournament.
Qualification ties are played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the sides are level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule is applied, and if still level, the tie proceeds directly to a penalty shoot-out (no extra time is played).
A total of 19 teams entered the qualifying rounds.
The first legs were scheduled for 13–15 February 2015, and the second legs were scheduled for 20–22 February 2015.
Note: Tunisia and Cameroon withdrew. Sudan and Djibouti were to play a one-off match in Cairo, Egypt, but Sudan withdrew.
