Domestic seasons across WAFU Zone B have drawn to a close, and league champions alongside cup winners are now preparing for Thursday's draw for the 2026/27 TotalEnergies CAF Champions League and TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup.

League winners from Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo, and Niger are expected to enter the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League, while FA Cup holders will likely compete in the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup. The season delivered a compelling mix of familiar heavyweights and fresh stories from across the region.

Ghana: Medeama and Nations FC steal the spotlight

Medeama SC reclaimed the Ghana Premier League title following a commanding campaign, earning what is expected to be a return to continental competition. The Tarkwa-based side have long been one of Ghana's most consistent clubs and will carry firm ambitions into the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League.

The MTN FA Cup, meanwhile, produced one of the season's most remarkable results. Nations FC lifted the trophy despite being relegated from the Ghana Premier League, a bittersweet achievement that is nonetheless expected to hand them a place in the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup.

ASEC Mimosas and Rangers International back on the continental map

In Côte d'Ivoire, ASEC Mimosas claimed yet another Ligue 1 title, adding to an already storied history. The Abidjan club remain among the most decorated names in African club football and will carry considerable expectations into the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League. CO Korhogo rounded off a fine season by winning the Ivorian FA Cup, setting themselves up for a possible TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup run.

Nigeria's Rangers International were crowned Nigeria Premier Football League champions, reaffirming the Enugu club's standing as one of the country's historic sides. El Kanemi Warriors captured the President Federation Cup, earning silverware and a probable return to continental football.

ASN Nigelec complete a stunning domestic double

The standout achievement in WAFU Zone B belonged to Niger's ASN Nigelec, who swept both the national league and the FA Cup to complete a domestic double. That clean sweep cements their position as the country's dominant club and gives them strong momentum heading into the new African campaign.

In Burkina Faso, Rahimo FC topped the league standings to claim the national title, while Vitesse FC celebrated a successful FA Cup run. Benin's league crown went to AS Sobemap, and ASC Kara won Togo's championship. Neither Benin nor Togo held domestic cup competitions this season, leaving their respective league winners as the sole representatives.

All eyes on Thursday's draw

With the CAF draw imminent, attention shifts from domestic glory to continental ambition. The TotalEnergies CAF Champions League will pit league winners against the continent's elite clubs, while the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup offers cup winners a platform to build their reputations beyond their borders.

For the clubs of WAFU Zone B, the mission is straightforward: translate local dominance into results on the African stage.
