{{anchor|Tiebreakers}}

;Tiebreakers

The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers would be applied in the following order:

1. Number of points obtained in games between the teams concerned;
2. Goal difference in games between the teams concerned;
3. Goals scored in games between the teams concerned;
4. If, after applying criteria 1 to 3 to several teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 7 apply;
5. Goal difference in all games;
6. Goals scored in all games;
7. Drawing of lots.

All times were local; CAT (UTC+2).{{cite web|date=15 November 2015|title=CHAN 2016 – FINAL FIXTURES|url=http://www.cafonline.com/Portals/0/AAG%20MEN/CHAN%202016-FINAL%20FIXTURES%202016.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151210182949/http://www.cafonline.com/Portals/0/AAG%20MEN/CHAN%202016-FINAL%20FIXTURES%202016.pdf|archive-date=10 December 2015|website=CAFOnline.com|access-date=10 December 2015}}

In the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of normal playing time, extra time would be played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by kicks from the penalty mark to determine the winner, except for the third place match where no extra time would be played.
