Berkane/@CAF

Just like the CAF Champions League, the new edition of the 2025-2026 Confederation Cup promises to be fiercely contested.

Africa’s second most prestigious club competition kicks off again this week with the first legs of the preliminary round.

RS Berkane, last season’s champions, won’t have the chance to defend their crown as they’ll be competing in the CAF Champions League.

North African clubs set the pace

Representatives from Morocco, Algeria, and Egypt look well equipped to chase continental glory in the 2025-2026 Confederation Cup.

Eager to reclaim their former glory, Wydad (Morocco) will be aiming high in this continental competition for the 2025-2026 campaign, especially after strengthening their squad over the summer.

Meanwhile, Zamalek (Egypt) has all the assets needed to dominate this new edition of the Confederation Cup.

Don’t count out Al Masry (Egypt) and CR Belouizdad (Algeria) either, with both squads boasting several quality players ready to make an impact.
