South Africa, as the tournament winner, qualified directly for the Olympic Games but their National Olympic Committee decided not to send a team so the runner-up, Kenya, took their place. The next three place-getters, Tunisia, Zimbabwe and Tunisia progressed to the final qualifying competition to play-off for inclusion in the 2016 Games.

South Africa will not participate in the 2016 Olympics. Previously SASCOC chief executive Tubby Reddy had stated that winning the continental qualifier would not be enough. Kenya, as the second-placed team in the African qualifiers, advance to the Olympics. Madagascar, the fifth-place finisher in qualifying, was named as a replacement.
