games to determine the winners of Africa’s elite club competition. The first
final of the competition did take place as a single game in Ghana back in 1965.
Every subsequent final saw two legs take place, with the aggregate score
determining the overall result.

The conclusion of the 2019 tournament proved controversial,
with Wydad Casablanca walking off in protest at an issue with the video
assistant referee (VAR) system during the second leg of their match with
Esperance.
Esperance was leading the second leg 1-0 at the time, with
the first match having ended in a 1-1 draw. Esperance was awarded the victory
but was told by CAF that they must return their trophy and medals after its
Executive Committee decided to overturn that outcome.
This decision was later overturned by the Court of Arbitration
for Sport (CAS), which ruled Wydad Casablanca had lost the second leg by
abandoning the match. The final will now be played at a neutral venue, with
Douala’s newly constructed Japoma Stadium due to host tie on May 29.
Morocco’s Raja Casablanca faces Zamalek of Egypt in the
