About CAF Confederation Cup

The Confederation Cup is open to teams from all 55 member associations of CAF, with a total of 56 teams participating in the tournament. The competition begins with a preliminary round, followed by a playoff round, group stage, quarterfinals, semifinals, and a final. The final is played over two legs, with the winner being crowned the CAF Confederation Cup champion.
The Confederation Cup has a reputation for featuring some of the top football clubs in Africa, with teams from countries such as Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, and South Africa often among the top contenders. Some of the most successful teams in the competition include TP Mazembe from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Etoile du Sahel from Tunisia, and CS Sfaxien from Tunisia.
The winner of the Confederation Cup earns the right to compete in the following year's CAF Champions League, while the runners-up and the third-place team in the group stage of the Confederation Cup qualify for the CAF Confederation Cup playoffs.
Overall, the CAF Confederation Cup is an important and highly competitive football club competition in Africa, providing an opportunity for teams from across the continent to compete against each other and potentially earn a spot in the top-tier CAF Champions League.
