The 2015 African Games women's football tournament qualification decided the participating teams of the 2015 African Games women's football tournament. A total of eight teams qualified to play in the women's football tournament, including Congo who qualified automatically as hosts. Both the qualifying rounds and the final tournament were open to full women's national teams (unlike the men's tournament, which was age-restricted).
A total of 17 teams entered the qualifying rounds, organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still level, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (no extra time would be played).
The seven winners of the second round qualified for the final tournament.
The schedule of the qualifying rounds was as follows.
Note: Madagascar played their first FIFA sanctioned international match. Gabon and Libya withdrew. Gabon were not approved to travel by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
