Tournament for champions of the CAF nations. The away goals rule was introduced in the 1974 competition, and a Champions' League format in 1997. In 2004 the Champions League format will be changed so that the top-12 countries (namely, Algeria, Angola, Cameroon, DR Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia, according to a simple ranking system which CAF appears to have difficulties applying) can enter a second team.
