North Africa's dominant clubs are set to carry the region's proud continental tradition into the 2026/27 TotalEnergies CAF Champions League and TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup, with league and cup winners from across the UNAF zone now focused on the upcoming continental draw.

Egypt and Algeria send heavyweights

Zamalek secured Egypt's league title and will represent the country in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League, while Pyramids FC, winners of the Egyptian Cup, head into the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup. Both clubs arrive with considerable expectations, backed by Egypt's storied history in African interclub competition.

Algeria's MC Alger successfully defended their league crown, setting up a continental return for one of the country's most decorated clubs. USM Alger, meanwhile, claimed the Algerian Cup for the second consecutive season, ensuring Algeria will field two competitive sides across CAF's flagship tournaments.

Tunisia and Morocco build on domestic momentum

Club Africain reclaimed the Tunisian league title, signalling a return to the summit of the domestic game for one of the country's historic clubs. Espérance Sportive de Tunis added the Tunisian Cup, guaranteeing another formidable Tunisian presence on the continental stage.

Morocco's domestic season produced one of the most compelling stories across the UNAF region — MAS Fes ended a 41-year wait to win the league title. The country's cup representative is yet to be determined, as the Throne Cup final remains to be played.

Libya adds depth to the UNAF contingent

Al-Suwaihli claimed the Libyan league title, while Al-Ahli Tripoli lifted the Libyan Cup. The two clubs join a strong North African contingent heading into the new interclub season, reinforcing a region that has consistently shaped both the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League and the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup.

The UNAF region boasts a formidable collective record in African football, with clubs such as Al Ahly, Zamalek, Espérance Sportive de Tunis, Etoile du Sahel, Wydad, Raja, USM Alger, MC Alger, and JS Kabylie among the continent's most celebrated sides.
