The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that the quarter-final draw for the 2025/26 CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup will be held later this month.

According to CAF, the draw is scheduled for February 19, with February 20 also being considered as the football governing body works around an increasingly tight continental calendar.

The exercise will go beyond pairing teams for the quarter-finals, as it will also map out the full pathway to the finals, including possible semi-final matchups in both competitions.

CAF is keen to ensure that all interclub tournaments are completed before June, allowing national teams enough time to prepare for FIFA World Cup qualifiers and other international engagements.

With the quarter-final stage representing a crucial point in Africa’s top club competitions, the draw is expected to lay the groundwork for high-stakes clashes between the continent’s elite sides.

CAF is expected to release additional information on the draw venue and format in the days ahead.
