CAF Super Cup

History

The African Super Cup started and organized in 1993 by the CAF under the name of the CAF Super Cup, It is played in a single match and on the field of the winner of the CAF Champions League (exception in 2007). Until 2003, the African Super cup pitted the winner of the Champions League against the winner of the African Cup Winners' Cup. When the latter disappeared, it was the winner of the CAF Confederation Cup who took the place. The notable edition was in 1994, Zamalek and Al Ahly, the two Egyptian belligerents met for the trophy in the infamous Cairo derby. They met in FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. Zamalek won and achieved the title as the first Egyptian team to win the African Super cup.

On only six occasions, the winner of the Champions League lost in this competition: the Ivorian club Africa Sports d'Abidjan beat the Moroccans Wydad AC in the first edition in Abidjan in 1993, the ES Sahel have beat Raja CA in 1997, Maghreb de Fès beat ES Tunis in 2012, Raja CA and Zamalek SC beat ES Tunis in 2019 and 2020, and finally RS Berkane have beat Wydad AC in 2022.

Fez Maghreb is the first Confederation Cup winning club to have won the CAF Super cup since the CAF Champions League winner clashed with the CAF Confederation Cup winner. CAF introduced a new trophy design to take effect from the 2024 edition, featuring sleek lines, metallic tones, and a stylized map of Africa to symbolize unity and progress in African football. Zamalek SC won the 2024 CAF Super Cup, after beating Al Ahly SC 4-3 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in the famous Cairo derby. The match became known as the Super of the Century. Pyramids FC won the 2025 CAF Super Cup with a 1-0 victory over RS Berkane in Cairo, claiming their first title and becoming the third Egyptian side to claim the trophy.
