Not until the 1997 season, the CAF Champions League was known as the African Cup of Champions Clubs.
The winner of the most prestigious club competition in African football used to be decided through a round-robin group stage to qualify for a double-legged knockout stage, and then a single-leg final.
In 2020 and 2021, the finals were played behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa.
