The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has invited managers of clubs qualifying for the group stages of the 2026/27 CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup to attend the draws in Cairo, Egypt, on October 28.
The draw ceremony will determine the group-stage opponents for clubs advancing in Africa’s two premier inter-club competitions, marking the next stage of their campaigns for continental honours.
According to the information released, the draw will be followed by a two-day workshop for club officials on October 29 and 30, completing a three-day programme organised by the continental governing body.
The invitation is directed at managers of clubs that secure qualification for the group stages of either competition. The gathering will bring representatives from across Africa together ahead of the group-stage fixtures.
The workshop is expected to provide an opportunity for club officials to engage with CAF on matters relating to the organisation and administration of the competitions. However, details of the agenda have not yet been provided in the information available.
The CAF Champions League is the continent’s leading club competition, while the Confederation Cup offers another route for African clubs to compete for international silverware.
For the qualifying teams, the group-stage draw will be an important milestone, revealing their opponents and helping them plan for the challenges ahead.
With the draws scheduled for October 28 and the workshop running through October 30, CAF’s programme will bring together club managers as preparations begin for the next phase of the 2026/27 continental season.
