The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is making significant changes to its club competitions, with reports indicating that the Confederation Cup will be discontinued. This competition, which was formed in 2004 through the merger of the CAF Cup and the African Cup Winners’ Cup, will now be replaced by the African Football League.

Introduced just last year, the African Football League initially featured eight teams but will now be expanded to include more clubs. This new competition will now serve as the premier club tournament in Africa, with the CAF Champions League stepping in to take the place of the Confederation Cup as the continent’s second-tier club competition.

One of the most exciting developments is that the winner of the African Football League will have the honor of representing Africa in the prestigious FIFA Club World Cup. This change marks a significant shift in the landscape of African club football and is sure to bring about new opportunities and challenges for teams across the continent.

Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story as CAF continues to shape the future of football in Africa.
