2024–25 CAF Confederation Cup

The 2024–25 CAF Confederation Cup, officially the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the 22nd edition of the CAF Confederation Cup and 50th overall season of Africa's secondary club football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

The winners, RS Berkane, earned the right to play against the winners of the 2024–25 CAF Champions League in the 2025 CAF Super Cup.

All 54 CAF member associations may enter the CAF Confederation Cup, with the 12 highest ranked associations according to the CAF 5-year ranking eligible to enter two teams in the competition. As a result, a maximum of 68 teams could enter the tournament – although this level has never been reached.

For this season's edition, CAF used the 2019–2024 CAF 5-year ranking, which calculates points for each entrant association based on their clubs performance over the 5 years in the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup. The criteria for the points are as follows:

The points were multiplied by a coefficient according to the season as follows:

• 2023–24: × 5
• 2022–23: × 4
• 2021–22: × 3
• 2020–21: × 2
• 2019–20: × 1

The following 52 teams from 40 associations entered the competition.

• Teams in bold received a bye to the second round.

Notes

The schedule of the qualifying tournament is as follows.

The draw for the qualifying rounds was held on 11 July 2024, 12:00 GMT (15:00 local time, UTC+3), at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.

In the qualifying rounds, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule was applied, and if still tied, extra time was not played, and a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (Regulations III. 13 & 14).

The 16 winners of the second round advanced to the group stage.

The draw for the group stage was held on 7 October 2024, 10:00 GMT (13:00 local time, UTC+3), in Cairo, Egypt. The 16 winners of the second round of qualifying rounds were drawn into four groups of four.

The teams were seeded by their performances in the CAF competitions for the previous five seasons (CAF 5-year ranking points shown next to every team). Each group contained one team from Pot 1 and one from Pot 2, with two groups including one team from Pot 3 and one from Pot 4, and the remaining two groups featuring two teams from Pot 4. Teams were allocated to positions in their respective groups according to their pot.

In the group stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the quarter-finals of the knockout stage.

The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

• In the draw for the quarter-finals, the four group winners were seeded, and the four group runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group could not be drawn against each other, while teams from the same association could be drawn against each other.
• In the draws for the semi-finals, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other. As the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals were held together before the quarter-finals were played, the identity of the quarter-final winners was not known at the time of the semi-final draw.

The bracket was decided after the draw for the knockout stage, which was held on 20 February 2025, 17:00 AST (UTC+3) at the beIN Sports headquarters in Doha, Qatar.

The first leg was played on 17 May, and the second leg was played on 25 May 2025.
