The2020–21 CAF Champions League (officially the2020–21 Total CAF Champions League for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 57th edition ofAfrica's premier clubfootball tournament organized by theConfederation of African Football (CAF), and the 25th edition under the currentCAF Champions League title.

Al Ahly successfully defended their title and defeatedKaizer Chiefs 3–0 in thefinal, which was played atStade Mohammed V inCasablanca, Morocco, winning their record-extending tenth and second consecutive title.

As the winners of the 2020–21 CAF Champions League, Al Ahly represented Africa in both the2021 and2025 FIFA Club World Cups, and played againstRaja Casablanca, the winners of the2020–21 CAF Confederation Cup, in the2021–22 CAF Super Cup.[2]

Association team allocation

[edit]

All 56CAF member associations may enter the CAF Champions League, with the 12 highest ranked associations according to theirCAF 5-year ranking eligible to enter two teams in the competition.[2] As a result, theoretically a maximum of 68 teams could enter the tournament – although this level has never been reached.

For the 2020–21 CAF Champions League, the CAF uses the 2016–2020CAF 5-year ranking, which calculates points for each entrant association based on their clubs' performance over those 5 years in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup. The criteria for points are the following:[3][4][5]

CAF Champions LeagueCAF Confederation Cup
Winners6 points5 points
Runners-up5 points4 points
Losing semi-finalists4 points3 points
Losing quarter-finalists (from 2017)3 points2 points
3rd place in groups2 points1 point
4th place in groups1 point0.5 point

The points are multiplied by a coefficient according to the year as follows:

  • 2019–20: × 5
  • 2018–19: × 4
  • 2018: × 3
  • 2017: × 2
  • 2016: × 1

Teams

[edit]

Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, associations may abandon their domestic competitions and select the representatives in CAF club competitions.[6] Associations may register their representatives during the engagement window between 1 September and 20 October 2020. All engaged teams must respect the Club Licensing procedure and cooperate with their respective Associations, as non-licensed clubs would be refused participation.[7]

The following 54 teams from 42 associations entered the competition.

Knockout stage

[edit]
Main article:2020–21 CAF Champions League knockout stage

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

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

Bracket

[edit]

The bracket was decided after the draw for the knockout stage, which was held on 30 April 2021.[62]
