The Confédération of African Football (CAF) will on Thursday, 22 May 2025, unveil a new trophy and identity for the CAF Champions League ahead of the highly anticipated two-legged final of the competition.
The TotalEnergies CAF Champions League Final first leg will be played on Saturday, 24 May, with the second leg scheduled for Cairo on Sunday, 1 June.
According to organisers, the unveiling of the new trophy will be attended by African football legends and the two participating clubs – Mamelodi Sundowns and Pyramids FC.
“The timing of the unveiling adds to the excitement and grandeur surrounding the decider, offering African football fans a glimpse of what will be at stake over the two legs in Tshwane and Cairo over the next two weeks.
“This event signifies a new, bold and exciting chapter for African club football, as CAF continues to elevate the profile and image of CAF Interclub Competitions.
“Thursday’s event builds on the recent partnership renewal between CAF and TotalEnergies, which saw the multi-energy company extending its partnership with CAF for a further four years,” a statement by the CAF media department said.
Al Ahly of Egypt will now go down in history as the last club to lift the outgoing version of the trophy.
