The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed that the preliminary round draw for the 2025/2026 CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup will take place on Friday, August 9, 2025, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
CAF has received confirmation of participating clubs from all Member Associations, with Libya being the only exception, having requested a short extension due to an ongoing domestic playoff taking place in Italy.
Nigeria will be represented in the two prestigious continental competitions as follows:
CAF Champions League: Remo Stars and Rivers United
CAF Confederation Cup: Abia Warriors and Kwara United.
The draw will officially kick off the 2025/2026 CAF inter-club season, which promises exciting matchups and intense continental action as teams battle for Africa’s top club honours.
