The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has decided to postpone the start of the group stage of the African Champions League and Confederation Cup, which was scheduled to begin on October 25, due to its coinciding with the African Nations Championship qualifiers for local teams.
A CAF source said in statements reported by the German Press Agency on Tuesday that the decision to postpone has already been taken regarding the first round of the group stage of both tournaments.
The source added: “The official announcement of the new date changes will be made later, after a final agreement has been reached on the calendar, which will probably start on November 26 and the group stage will end on January 19.”
It is worth noting that CAF had earlier announced that the draw for the group stage of the African Champions League and the Confederation Cup would take place on October 7.
