CAF Confederation Cup table 2026-27

CAF Confederation Cup standings organise each group around the points clubs collect, with two quarter final places available per group. Whether you call it football or soccer, the columns summarise appearances, victories, draws, defeats, scoring figures and points.

Introduced in 2004, the Caf Confederation Cup connects domestic cup achievement with competition across Africa. Consult its qualification legend, club nationalities and scheduled fixtures when unequal numbers of completed games make comparisons less straightforward.

What Do the CAF Confederation Cup Table and Log Markers Mean?

Coloured bands highlight quarter final places; separate symbols indicate when advancement or elimination has become certain. Interpret Q and E using the accompanying legend, since a club inside the qualifying band may still need further results to secure its passage. Within each four club group, every participant hosts and visits its three opponents, earning three points per victory. Compare clubs within their own lettered group: separate groups do not form a single points ladder.

How Are Clubs Separated When Points Are Level?

When Confederation Cup clubs share a points total, their meetings with one another supply the first separating criteria. Points collected in those encounters are considered first, then the scoring balance and number of goals recorded in them. Subsequent steps vary with the number of clubs still inseparable, making an unfinished group order provisional. A superior overall scoring balance therefore need not secure the higher place. Consult the accompanying explanation of any tie before interpreting a small numerical edge.

How Do Updates, Fixtures and Results Fit Together?

A refresh time establishes how recently the group figures were calculated; the fixture status distinguishes ongoing play from a completed result. Open Caf Confederation Cup fixtures to check scheduled group encounters, and Caf Confederation Cup results to review finished contests. A club's group programme comprises six games. Venue splits offer context, but results from both venues contribute towards qualification.

What Time Is Kick Off Across Africa?

Compare advertised starts across WAT, EAT, SAST and GMT together: 19:00 WAT corresponds to 21:00 EAT, 20:00 SAST and 18:00 GMT. These zones serve Lagos, Nairobi and Kampala, Johannesburg, and Accra respectively. CAT and SAST display identical clock readings. Check the dated fixture entry for any scheduling adjustment before arranging your viewing. Fixtures grouped under one matchday label can take place on different evenings.

How Do Goal Difference and Games in Hand Affect the Table?

Subtract conceded goals from scored goals to calculate goal difference; fewer completed fixtures indicate games in hand. Neither statistic awards additional points. Compare the points column with appearances, then inspect the outstanding fixtures to understand what remains available. National flags and country labels identify African representation and distinguish clubs whose names resemble one another. Explore Caf Confederation Cup stats for the player contributions accompanying those group results.

What Comes After the Groups, and Where Can You Follow It?

Successful group campaigns lead into quarter finals, then semi finals and a final, with each knockout tie contested across two legs. Ranked beneath Africa's Champions League, the Confederation Cup has a separate prize structure that includes payments for group participation. Its creation in 2004 combined the African Cup Winners’ Cup with the CAF Cup, extending the continental route for domestic achievers. Club country labels help supporters trace representation from Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa; entering the competition does not automatically secure a group berth.

The selected honours below extend through 2025, when Berkane and Sfaxien had each accumulated three titles. Across that period, Moroccan clubs collected eight trophies and Tunisian clubs five. Broadcast listings identify viewing options by country and fixture. During play, follow the live score; after completion, consult the refreshed group figures to understand the qualification implications.
