If you love African club football, the CAF Confederation Cup is the tournament you should be tracking. It sits just below the Champions League and gives clubs a chance to shine on the continent. Every season you get a mix of big‑name sides and surprise packages battling for a spot in the final.
Right now the group stage is in full swing, and the fixtures are packed with exciting match‑ups. Teams like Raja Casablanca, Simba SC and AS FAR are all fighting for those coveted knockout spots. The schedule is easy to follow – matches are usually on weekends, and the kickoff times are listed on the CAF website.
The Confederation Cup starts with a preliminary round, then moves to a first round and a play‑off round where teams dropping from the Champions League join the mix. After that you get four groups of four clubs each. The top two from every group move on to the quarter‑finals, and from there it’s straight knockout until the final.
One thing that makes the tournament special is the home‑and‑away format in the knockout stages. That means you get to see teams perform in front of their own fans, and the atmosphere can swing a tie dramatically.
Most games are broadcast on SuperSport in South Africa and on local sports channels across the region. If you prefer streaming, the CAF official site often offers live streams or you can check out YouTube for highlights after the match.
To stay on top of news, follow the CAF Confederation Cup tag on our site. We update it with match previews, score updates and player spotlights. You’ll also find quick facts like top scorers, biggest wins and injury news.
Betting fans like to keep an eye on odds, and the Confederation Cup often produces surprise results that can shake up the market. Keep an eye on the underdogs – teams from Tanzania, Zambia and Niger have pulled off upsets in recent years, showing that anything can happen.
If you’re planning to attend a game, check the venue’s ticket policy early. Some stadiums sell out quickly, especially for high‑profile clashes involving North‑African clubs.
Finally, remember the competition is more than just football. It brings together fans from across Africa, creates travel opportunities and helps clubs boost their revenue. The exposure can lift a club’s profile and attract better players for the next season.
So whether you’re watching from the couch, streaming on your phone, or planning a trip to the stadium, the CAF Confederation Cup delivers drama, goals and stories you won’t want to miss. Keep checking our tag page for the latest updates and enjoy the ride.
