CAF Super Cup History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage

The CAF Super Cup is an annual African association football competition contested between the winners of the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup. It is the continental equivalent of the UEFA Super Cup in European football and the Recopa Sudamericana in South American club football.

The competition was established in 1993 and is organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The CAF Super Cup is played as a single match and is hosted by the CAF Champions League winner although it is sometimes held at a neutral venue.

As per the CAF Champions League Regulations XXVII and CAF Confederation Cup Regulations XXV, extra-time is not played in the CAF Super Cup when the score is tied at the end of normal time.
The penalty shoot-out is used to determine the eventual winner.

Africa Sports d'Abidjan of Ivory Coast won the inaugural edition of the CAF Super Cup in 1993. Nigeria's Enyimba FC, meanwhile, was the first club in history to win the CAF Super Cup back-to-back (2004 and 2005).
