The stage is set for the knockout stages of the 2024/25 TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup, following the quarter-finals draw that was held by the Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) on Thursday, February 20.
Conducted live from the world-class studios of CAF’s media rights partners beIN SPORTS in Doha, Qatar, the draw maps out four appetising two-legged quarter-final fixtures to be contested on April 2 and April 9, 2025.
A North versus South duel kicks off the quarter-finals when two-time champions Zamalek SC of Egypt resume their title defence against tournament debutants Stellenbosch FC of South Africa.
Ivorian powerhouse Asec Mimosas, who are yearning for continental glory again, will take on two-time champions RS Berkane of Morocco. Berkane have been the best performing side of the group stages, collecting the most points (16) without a loss in the group stage campaign.
A mouth-watering Algerian derby awaits in what promises to be an explosive North African duel. CS Constantine, who are making their debut in the knockout stages, take on a highly spirited USM Alger side that is looking to reclaim the title they won in 2022/23.
The last quarter-finals clash will see Egyptian side Al Masry take on an in-form Simba SC of Tanzania, who are aiming to go beyond the last-8 stage for the first time since the 2021/22 season.
