The 12 highest-ranked member associations in the CAF five-year ranking will continue to be entitled to two representatives each in both the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement offers a significant administrative boost for clubs and federations across the continent as preparations begin for another season of African club football, with many domestic championships still navigating scheduling adjustments linked to the global football calendar.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
