The 2nd CAF Confederation Cup 2005

2005 Champions - Forces Armées Royales de Rabat, Morocco

The Confederation Cup is a competition for the National Cup Winner in each country.

The 12 countries with the best results in the clubs competitions in the previous five years are also allowed to enter a second team, normally the third-placed finisher in the national league championship. (The league runner-up qualifies for the more lucrative Champions League).

The 12 countries authorised to engage a second club are the same as for 2004: Algeria*, Angola, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, DR Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia.
*Algeria entered just one team with the second only eligible for the Arab Champions League.

Both competitions, the Champions League and the Confederation Cup, start with a maximum of 64 teams. The eight teams who are knocked out from the Last 16 stage of the Champions League are then integrated into the Confederation Cup and play, in a direct elimination round after a drawing of lots, against the last eight in the Confederation Cup. The eight remaining teams are then divided into two groups of four with the group winners going directly to the final.

All ties are played through two legs - home & away.
