CAF Confederation Cup
The CAF Confederation Cup, known as the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup (Coupe de la confédération de la CAF TotalEnergies in French) for sponsorship purposes, is an annual association football club competition established in 2004 and organized by CAF.
Clubs qualify for the competition based on their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. It is the second-tier competition of African club football, ranking below the CAF Champions League. The winner of the tournament faces the winner of the aforementioned competition in the following season's CAF Super Cup.
Moroccan clubs have the highest number of victories (eight titles), followed by Tunisia with five. Morocco has the largest number of winning teams, with five clubs having won the title. The competition has been won by 14 clubs, six of which have won it more than once. RS Berkane and CS Sfaxien are the most successful clubs in the competition's history, having won the tournament three times each. RS Berkane are the current defending champions, having beaten Simba S.C. in the 2025 final.
In 2004, CAF merged the African Cup Winners' Cup created in 1975 with the CAF Cup introduced in 1992 to form a new competition called the Confederation Cup, which has since become the secondary African club competition.
In the first edition, the Ghanaian club Hearts of Oak won the edition by beating another Ghanaian club, Asante Kotoko in the final on Penalties. The following year, Moroccan club AS FAR won the cup against Nigeria's Dolphin FC. In 2006, Tunisian club Étoile du Sahel won the cup against Moroccan AS FAR (thanks to the away goals rule).
The Tunisian club CS Sfaxien won the cup in 2007 by beating the Sudanese Al Merreikh 5 goals to 2 in aggregate score (4–2, 1–0). The following season, Club Sfaxien again won the cup against another Tunisian club, Étoile du Sahel. In 2009, Stade Malien won the edition by beating the Algerian club ES Sétif in the final, on penalties. The following season, the Moroccan club Fath Union Sport won the cup against Tunisian Club Sfaxien, winning the return match 3 to 2.
In 2011, Moroccan club Maghreb Fès defeated Tunisia's Club Africain in the final, on penalties. The following year, Congolese club AC Léopards beat Malian club Djoliba AC in the final. The 2013 edition saw CS Sfaxien win against Congolese TP Mazembe. In 2014, the Egyptian club Al Ahly obtained its first confederation cup by beating the Ivorian club Séwé FC. In 2015, Étoile du Sahel again won the cup by beating South African club Orlando Pirates. TP Mazembe achieved the double in 2016 and 2017, beating Algerian club MO Béjaïa and South African SuperSport United respectively.
Moroccan club Raja CA won in 2018 against Congolese AS Vita Club. In 2019, Zamalek SC beat Moroccan RS Berkane in the final, on Penalties.
