CAF Champions League
The CAF Champions League, known for sponsorship reasons as the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League and formerly the African Cup of Champions Clubs, is an annual club football competition organized by the Confederation of African Football and contested by top-division African clubs, deciding the competition winners through a round robin group stage to qualify for a double-legged knockout stage, and then a single leg final.
It is one of the most prestigious football tournaments in the world and the most prestigious club competition in African football.
The winner of the tournament earns a berth for the FIFA Club World Cup, a tournament contested between the champion clubs from all six continental confederations, and also faces the winner of the CAF Confederation Cup in the following season's CAF Super Cup.
Clubs that finish as runners-up in their national leagues, having not qualified for the Champions League, are eligible for the second-tier CAF Confederation Cup.
Egyptian clubs have the highest number of victories (16 titles), followed by Morocco with 7. Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria have the largest number of winning teams, with three clubs from each having won the title.
The competition has been won by 26 clubs, 12 of which have won it more than once.
Al Ahly is the most successful club in the competition's history, having won the tournament a record 10 times.
Wydad Casablanca is the current defending champion, having beaten Al Ahly by two goals to nil in 2022 final.
