Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Uganda are part of Group A with Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, and Sierra Leone forming Group B. The qualification process for this event was taken via two different leagues - Southern Africa Cup and East-West and North Qualifier.
As a part of qualification, Botswana, Malawi, and Mozambique have made it to the main competition after doing well in the Southern Africa Cup. These three teams topped the points table with eight, six, and two points respectively in the qualification tournament.
On the other hand, from the East-West and North Qualifiers, four teams made it to the main campaign. From Group A, Rwanda and Ghana qualified. From Group B, Kenya and Sierra Leone made it to the event.
Uganda automatically qualified for the event after winning the inaugural ACA T20I Cup after defeating Tanzania in the grand finale in September 2022. In last year's campaign, Uganda, Tanzania, Botswana, and Kenya were the top four sides from two different groups.
