Association team allocation

[edit]

All 56 CAF member associations may enter the CAF Champions League, with the 12 highest ranked associations according to theCAF 5-year ranking eligible to enter two teams in the competition.[2] 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 2020–2025 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 were as follows:[3][4][5]

Winners6 points5 points
Runners-up5 points4 points
Losing semi-finalists4 points3 points
Losing quarter-finalists3 points2 points
3rd place in groups2 points1 point
4th place in groups1 point0.5 point

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

  • 2024–25: × 5
  • 2023–24: × 4
  • 2022–23: × 3
  • 2021–22: × 2
  • 2020–21: × 1

Main article:2025–26 CAF Champions League 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 will be played, the identity of the quarter-final winners was not known at the time of the semi-final draw.
