CAF Confederation Cup – News, Scores & Highlights

If you love African club football, the CAF Confederation Cup is the tournament you should be tracking every week. It sits just below the Champions League in prestige, but it still delivers drama, surprise upsets and plenty of goals.

How the Tournament Works

The competition starts with a preliminary round where lower‑ranked clubs face off over two legs. Winners join higher‑seeded teams in the first round, and the process repeats until eight teams make it to the group stage. In the groups, each side plays home and away games against three opponents. The top two from each group move on to the knockout phase – quarter‑finals, semi‑finals and a single‑leg final.

Match rules are simple: 90 minutes of play, extra time if needed, then penalties. There’s also a “away goals” rule for the two‑leg ties, which often decides tight contests. The prize money has grown in recent years, so clubs take it seriously and field strong squads.

Where to Watch & Follow

You can stream most games on the official CAF TV YouTube channel or through local broadcasters in participating countries.
