The CAF Confederation Cup, sometimes known as the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup for sponsorship purposes, is an annual association football club competition organized by CAF that was formed in 2004 by the merger of the CAF Cup and the African Cup Winners’ Cup.

The competition qualifies clubs based on their performance in their respective national leagues and cup competitions. It is the second-tier African club football competition, ranked below the CAF Champions League. The tournament winner will face the winner of the aforementioned competition in the CAF Super Cup the following season.

CAF Confederation Cup History
Accra Hearts of Oak, founded in 2004, became the first club to win the competition. CS Sfaxien won its third title in 2013, defeating TP Mazembe in the final.

The competition, like the top-tier CAF Champions League, has been dominated by North African football clubs, with 13 titles.

Qualification
Domestic cup winners from all 54 CAF member associations, as well as the third-placed team in the domestic leagues of the top twelve rated associations, are eligible for the competition.

Format
The competition is divided into two stages: qualification and main stage .

Phase of Qualification
The competition begins with a preliminary round, followed by the first qualifying round, which is played in a “trim-down” knock-out format, with the away goals rule serving as a tiebreaker. The sixteen clubs ousted from the CAF Champions League’s first qualifying round advance to the competition’s second qualifying phase, unless they are eliminated there as well.
