Fixtures and Results of the second-leg of First Preliminary Round of 2025/26 TotalEnergies CAF Champions League
The preliminary round of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League reaches its first reckoning this weekend and into early October, with return legs set to decide who moves on to the second qualifying round.
For some, the brief is straightforward—close out big first-leg wins; for many others, it’s now a one-off cup tie with everything on the line.
Holders Pyramids will play their postponed ties next week because of Intercontinental Cup commitments, while one other fixture has also been moved into early October.
