List of CAF club competition winners
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is the governing body for association football in Africa.[1] It organizes three club competitions: the CAF Champions League (formerly African Cup of Champions Clubs), the CAF Confederation Cup and the CAF Super Cup.[2] CAF was also responsible for the African Cup Winners' Cup and the CAF Cup, until their merging in 2004 when Confederation Cup took their places.[3]
Egyptian side Al Ahly have won a record total of 26 titles in CAF competitions, including 12 CAF Champions League titles – the most by any club – as well as four African Cup Winners’ Cups, one Confederation Cup, and eight Super Cups.[4][5][6] Before the launch of the CAF Confederation Cup in 2004, the only club to have won all three major CAF competitions was Espérance Sportive de Tunis (Tunisia), who completed the treble with the Champions Cup in 1994, the CAF Cup in 1997, and the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1998. They became the first team to win the set of CAF’s three historic seasonal tournaments. This feat was later matched by JS Kabylie (Algeria) in 2000 and Étoile Sportive du Sahel (Tunisia) in 2007—the latter also became the only club to win all five different CAF men’s club competitions: the Champions League, Confederation Cup, Super Cup, Cup Winners’ Cup, and CAF Cup.[7] Moroccan clubs are the most successful from North Africa after Egypt, with 25 CAF titles, while Tunisian clubs follow closely.
