The 2022 CAF Champions League final was the final match of the 2021–22 CAF Champions League, the 58th season of Africa's premier club football tournament organised by CAF, and the 26th edition under the current CAF Champions League title. It was played at the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca, in Morocco on 30 May 2022.
Wydad AC won the match 2–0 to clinch their third Champions League title.
As winners, they earned the right to play against the winners of the 2021–22 CAF Confederation Cup, RS Berkane, in the 2022 CAF Super Cup.
When Morocco won the right to host 2022 FIFA Club World Cup, Al Ahly took Morocco's slot as Morocco's Wydad AC took CAF slot which was decided by this match.
