TotalEnergies CAF Champions League quarter-final line-up to be completed this weekend

Published: Thursday, 16 January 2025

The quarter-final line-up of this season’s TotalEnergies CAF Champions League will be completed this weekend, as Africa’s premier club competition enters its final round of group matches.

This season’s edition has been nothing short of exceptional, with upsets, thrills and goals that have characterised the continent’s biggest club competition over the years.

Following another exciting round of clashes last week, five clubs joined Al-Hilal SC (Sudan) in securing passage into the quarter-finals with a game to spare, leaving two slots to be decided this weekend.

Al-Hilal were the first side to secure their place after Match Day 4 before being joined by defending champions Al Ahly (Egypt), AS FAR (Morocco), Orlando Pirates (South Africa), Esperance (Tunisia) and Pyramids FC (Egypt).

The remaining two slots will be decided from Group A and B, with Ahly and Pirates already qualified from Group C, and Esperance and Pyramids through in Group D.

With a mere point separating MC Alger (8) and Young Africans (7), the Group A encounter in Dar es Salaam promises to produce fireworks, with Yanga determined to avenge their 2-0 loss suffered in Algiers in December.

In Group B, Raja Casablanca, who are away to the already ousted Maniema Union, will also be relying on their Moroccan counterparts, AS FAR to get a result that favours them when they travel to Pretoria to face 2016 champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

AS FAR aim to finish top of the group, while Sundowns, who are just a point behind them, only need a draw to advance.

With qualification to the next round already secured for five clubs, pride remains at stake in the closing round of fixtures, with Pirates travelling to Cairo to face the defending champions Al Ahly, who held them to a goalless stalemate in Soweto two weeks ago.

Al Hilal aim to erase last weekend’s home defeat to Young Africans with an away win over TP Mazembe, who bowed out of contention in the penultimate round.

Saturday, 18 January

Group A

13h00 GMT | TP Mazembe v Al Hilal FC

Blockbuster Sunday to confirm TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final line-up

Published: Thursday, 16 January 2025

The quarter-final line-up in the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup will be completed this weekend, as the race towards a place in the knockout stages enters its final stretch on Sunday, 19 January.

Two places remain to make up the eight teams that will compete the quarter-finals after defending champions Zamalek SC (Egypt), CS Constantine, USM Alger (Algeria), RS Berkane (Morocco), Simba SC (Tanzania) and Stellenbosch FC (South Africa) all secured their respective places with a game to spare.

The knockout stages already promises to live up to the competition’s high expectations, with reigning champions Zamalek joined by two former winners RS Berkane and USM Alger, who together all have five titles amongst them.

Senegalese side, AS Jaraaf will approach Sunday’s top of the table clash in Group C with caution, needing just a point to join former champions USM Alger in the knockout stage.

Asec Mimosas welcome Botswana’s Orapa United to Abidjan, targeting nothing less than a victory. If AS Jaraaf lose and Asec Mimosas win, the latter will move into second on the head-to-head rule.

It will be a tough mountain to climb for the Ivorians as they attempt to overcome a side that frustrated them to a goalless tie in Gaborone last month.

Group D will line up some interesting encounters on Sunday as Zamalek, who have their top spot in the group sealed, welcome former African champions Enyimba.

The Nigerian outfit are a point behind second-placed Egypt’s Al Masry. The latter have their qualification in their hands with a victory – irrespective of the other fixture’s outcome.

TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup Match Day 6 | Sunday, 19 January

Group A

13h00 GMT | CS Sfaxien v Bravos do Maquis
13h00 GMT | Simba v CS Constantine

Group B

19h00 GMT | RS Berkane v Stellenbosch FC
19h00 GMT | Stade Malien v CD Lunda Sul

Group C

19h00 GMT | Asec Mimosas v Orapa United FC
19h00 GMT | USM Alger v Jaraaf

16h00 GMT | Al Masry v Black Bulls

Goals galore as TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final line-up confirmed

Published: Monday, 20 January 2025

The final line-up clubs to compete in the knockout stages of the 2024/25 edition of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup were decided on Sunday, 19 January following an exciting conclusion of the group stages that produced 26 goals in eight games.

Match Day 6 of what has been an unpredictable group stage campaign saw Ivorian giants, Asec Mimosas powering into the quarter-finals with a commanding 4-0 win over Botswana’s Orapa United, while Egypt’s Al Masry overcame Black Bulls from Mozambique 3-1 to secure their place.

The two sides join defending champions Zamalek SC (Egypt), CS Constantine, USM Alger (Algeria), RS Berkane (Morocco), Simba SC (Tanzania) and Stellenbosch FC (South Africa), who all secured their respective places with a game to spare.

The eight quarter-finalists have set up what promises to be an explosive knockout stage of the competition, with three of the qualified clubs having lifted the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup before.

Defending champions Zamalek SC and RS Berkane are two-time winners, while USM Alger won the competition once.

Asec Mimosas were once African champions when they lifted the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League in 1998 and will be aiming to end their continental draught this season.


The quarter-finals will also see tournament debutants Stellenbosch FC looking to carry on their impressive run, along with CS Constantine, who make it to the knockout stages after their first group stage appearance, having being knocked out of the competition twice in the preliminary stages.

Egypt’s Al Masry’s return to CAF Interclub competitions has also had them enjoy a dream run that sees them amongst the remaining eight clubs in the competition.

The two-legged quarter-finals of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup will take place on March 30 and April 6.

CAF will soon announce details of the official draw to map out the exciting knockout stages of the competition.

CAF changes the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup Regulations and extends the Player Registration deadline to 28 February 2025

Published: Thursday, 30 January 2025

The Confédération Africaine de Football (“CAF”), today changed the player registration Regulations of the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup, to allow football clubs to register a player, for the CAF Champions League or the CAF Confederation Cup, who has participated in either of these CAF Competitions, for another football club, within the same football season.

By changing these Player Registration Regulations, the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup Regulations are now similar to the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League Player Registration Regulations.

The amendments to these Regulations will contribute to the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup becoming attractive and appealing to football fans, TV spectators and to sponsors and partners in Africa and worldwide.

These changes may also improve the quality of the African football clubs that are participating in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 that will be held in the United States in June–July 2025.

The CAF EXCO also took a resolution extending the Player Registration deadline of the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup to 28 February 2025.
