The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially unveiled a brand-new trophy for the CAF Champions League.
The unveiling ceremony took place on Thursday, May 21, at the TotalEnergies headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The event follows the recent renewal of the sponsorship agreement between CAF and TotalEnergies, which will see the energy giant remain a key partner of CAF’s Interclub competitions for another four years.
In attendance were celebrated African football legends, as well as representatives from the two finalist clubs—Mamelodi Sundowns and Pyramids FC.
The trophy reveal comes just days before the highly anticipated first leg of the CAF Champions League final, set for Friday, May 24, at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, with kickoff at 13:00 GMT. The second leg will be held on Saturday, June 1, at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo.
The launch of the new trophy marks an exciting new era for African club football, as CAF intensifies efforts to enhance the global appeal and prestige of its Interclub tournaments.
