The 2024–25 CAF Confederation Cup, officially the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup for sponsorship reasons,[1] is the 22nd edition of the CAF Confederation Cup and 50th overall season of Africa's secondary club football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The winners will automatically qualify for the next edition of the competition, and will also earn the right to play against the winners of the 2024–25 CAF Champions League in the 2025 CAF Super Cup.[2]
All 54 CAF member associations may enter the CAF Confederation Cup, with the 12 highest ranked associations according to the CAF 5-year ranking eligible to enter two teams in the competition. 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 2019–2024 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 are as follows:[3] [4]
| CAF Champions League | CAF Confederation Cup | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Winners | 6 points | 5 points | |
| Runners-up | 5 points | 4 points | |
| Losing semi-finalists | 4 points | 3 points | |
| Losing quarter-finalists | 3 points | 2 points | |
| 3rd place in groups | 2 points | 1 point | |
| 4th place in groups | 1 point | 0.5 point |
The points were multiplied by a coefficient according to the season as follows:
The following 52 teams from 40 associations entered the competition.
Associations are shown according to their 2019–2023 CAF 5-year ranking – those with a ranking score have their rank and score (in parentheses) indicated.
