Group G of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification tournament is one of the 13 groups to decide the teams which qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals tournament.

The teams in the group play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format, between June 2015 and September 2016.[1] The group originally consisted of four teams: Nigeria, Egypt, Tanzania, and Chad. However, on 27 March 2016 it was announced that Chad had withdrawn from the competition on financial grounds.[2][3] As per the competition's regulations, the matches involving Chad and played up to that point were annulled, and the scheduled forthcoming matches involving Chad were cancelled.[4]

The group winners qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. After Chad's withdrawal, the runners-up can no longer qualify as one of the two runners-up with the best records, as any groups reduced to just three teams have only the group winner qualifying for the finals and are not considered when determining the best second-placed teams.[2][5]
