CAF Confirms Draw Procedures for 2026/27 Champions League and Confederation Cup

CAIRO, Egypt — The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fully explained the draw procedures for the 2026/27 CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup preliminary rounds.

CAF Champions League

Three clubs have been exempted from the first preliminary round. These include defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns, who will enter the competition at a later stage.

CAF Confederation Cup

Eight clubs have been exempted from the first preliminary round. Kaizer Chiefs have replaced AS Otohô (Congo-Brazzaville) after CAF rejected the Congolese club’s participation due to the country not having a league season for more than one year.

The Amakhosi will therefore enter the Confederation Cup directly in the second preliminary round.

Everything is now clear ahead of the official preliminary draws scheduled for later today.
