The 4th CAF Champions League 2000

Final Rounds

2000 champions - Hearts of Oak (Ghana)

This foremost premier club championship in Africa, commencing in 1997 and succeeding the African Cup of Champions Clubs (1964-96), is open to all CAF-affiliated National League Champions and the defending champions.

North African clubs have traditionally dominated the cup winners' circle with only Asante Kotoko (Ghana 1983), Orlando Pirates (South Africa 1995) and now Hearts of Oak (Ghana) breaking the monopoly in recent times.

The initial rounds produced eight teams divided into two four-team leagues. Winners of each league played each other to decide the championship.

Apart from collecting $225,000 each for reaching the final, the winners go on to represent Africa at the second FIFA World Club Championship in Spain during July and August 2001.
