The 2018–19 CAF Confederation Cup (officially the 2018–19 Total CAF Confederation Cup for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 16th edition of Africa's secondary club football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), under the current CAF Confederation Cup title after the merger of CAF Cup and African Cup Winners' Cup.

This season follows a transitional calendar which allows the CAF club competitions to switch from a February-to-November schedule to an August–to-May schedule, as per the decision of the CAF Executive Committee on 20 July 2017.[2] It started in December 2018, right after the 2018 season has finished, and concluded in May 2019, before the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (which has been switched from January/February to June/July).[3]

Zamalek won the title for the first time, defeating RS Berkane in the final 5–3 on penalties after being tied 1–1 on aggregate, and earned the right to play against the winners of the 2018–19 CAF Champions League in the 2020 CAF Super Cup.[4]

Raja Casablanca were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the group stage.

Association team allocation

All 56 CAF member associations may enter the CAF Confederation Cup, with the 12 highest ranked associations according to their CAF 5-year ranking eligible to enter two teams in the competition.[4] As a result, theoretically a maximum of 68 teams could enter the tournament (plus 16 teams eliminated from the CAF Champions League which enter the play-off round) – although this level has never been reached.

For the 2018–19 CAF Confederation Cup, the CAF uses the 2013–2017 CAF 5-year ranking, which calculates points for each entrant association based on their clubs’ performance over those 5 years in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup. The criteria for points are the following:[5][6][7]

CAF Champions League CAF Confederation Cup
Winners 6 points 5 points
Runners-up 5 points 4 points
Losing semi-finalists 4 points 3 points
Losing quarter-finalists (from 2017) 3 points 2 points
3rd place in groups 2 points 1 point
4th place in groups 1 point 0.5 point

The points are multiplied by a coefficient according to the year as follows:

  • 2017 – 5
  • 2016 – 4
  • 2015 – 3
  • 2014 – 2
  • 2013 – 1

Notes
  1. ^
    Title holders (TH): Usually, the association of the title holders is not allowed to enter more than the eligible number of teams according to the CAF 5-year ranking (Regulations IV. 5).[4] However, due to the transitional calendar where the 2018–19 CAF Confederation Cup began before the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup Final, the identity of the title holders was not known at the time of the draw. As a result, it was decided that the association of the title holders would be allowed exceptionally to enter a third team for this season. As Raja Casablanca won the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup, they entered the competition and received a bye to the first round.[9]
  2. ^
    Cameroon (CMR):
    • Cameroon were represented by New Star, the 2018 Elite One fourth place, as Bamboutos, the 2018 Elite One third place, were relegated following the 2018 season due to a FIFA ruling.[10]
    • Cameroon were also to be represented by Eding Sport, one of the 2018 Cameroonian Cup finalists, as the final was not played in time for the 2018–19 CAF competitions.[11] However, the Cameroonian Football Federation was not able to confirm the engagement of Eding Sport by the CAF deadline.[12]
  3. ^
    Ghana (GHA): Ghana were represented by Asante Kotoko, the 2017 Ghanaian FA Cup winners, as the 2018 Ghanaian FA Cup was suspended.[13]
  4. ^
    Malawi (MWI): Malawi were represented by Silver Strikers, the 2017 Malawi Premier Division third place, as the 2018 Malawi FAM Cup was not finished in time for the 2018–19 CAF competitions (Kamuzu Barracks, the 2017 Malawi FAM Cup winners, chose not to enter).[14]
  5. ^
    Seychelles (SEY): Seychelles were represented by Northern Dynamo, the 2017 Seychelles League Cup winners, as the 2018 Seychelles FA Cup was not finished in time for the 2018–19 CAF competitions.[15]

The draw for the preliminary round and first round was held on 3 November 2018 in Rabat, Morocco, and was officially announced by the CAF on 9 November due to a special situation with the transitional calendar.[22][23][24]

In the qualifying rounds, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still tied, extra time would not be played, and the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (Regulations III. 13 & 14).[4]
