Originally formed in 2004 through the amalgamation of the CAF Cup and the African Cup Winners’ Cup, the Confederation Cup faces extinction.
Last year, CAF introduced the African Football League, a new competition initially comprising eight teams. Now, plans are underway to expand its scope, making it the premier club competition across the continent.

In this restructuring, the CAF Champions League will assume the role previously held by the Confederation Cup as Africa’s secondary club tournament.
Moreover, the victor of the African Football League will secure Africa’s representation in the FIFA Club World Cup.
