The defending champions Raja Casablanca were unable to defend their title as they advanced to the group stage of the that season's CAF Champions League. The final was won by RS Berkane of Morocco 5–4 on penalties after a 1–1 draw after 120 minutes of regulation time against Orlando Pirates and RS Berkane at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria, capturing their second title in the process.
As winners, RS Berkane earned the right to play against the winners of the 2021–22 CAF Champions League, Wydad Casablanca, in the 2022 CAF Super Cup.[2]
All 54 CAF member associations may enter the competition, with the 12 highest ranked associations according to their CAF 5-year ranking eligible to enter two teams in the competition.[2] As a result, theoretically a maximum of 68 teams could enter the tournament (plus 16 teams eliminated from the CAF Champions League which enter the play-off round) – although this level has never been reached.
For the 2020–21 season, CAF utilized the 2016–2020 CAF 5-year ranking, which calculates points for each entrant association based on their clubs’ performance over the previous 5 seasons in CAF's club competitions. The criteria for points are as follows:[3][4][5]
CAF Champions League | CAF Confederation Cup | |
---|---|---|
Winners | 6 points | 5 points |
Runners-up | 5 points | 4 points |
Losing semi-finalists | 4 points | 3 points |
Losing quarter-finalists (from 2017) | 3 points | 2 points |
3rd place in groups | 2 points | 1 point |
4th place in groups | 1 point | 0.5 point |
The points are multiplied by a coefficient according to the year as follows:
The following 49 teams from 37 associations entered the competition.

[TAN] Both the winners Simba SC and runner-ups Young Africans S.C. of the 2020–21 Tanzania FA Cup qualified for the 2021-22 CAF Champions League resulting in the slot usually allocated to the winner or runner-up of the Tanzania FA Cup to be awarded to the fourth placed team in the 2020–21 Tanzanian Premier League.
