North African clubs dominate African football thanks to stronger financial resources, better infrastructure and greater continental experience than most teams across the continent. During the 2025-2026 CAF season, clubs from Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria once again occupied most of the places in the decisive stages of the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup.
Teams such as Al Ahly, Wydad AC and Espérance de Tunis continue to benefit from stable projects, larger budgets and highly competitive domestic leagues that allow them to maintain a high level season after season.
Beyond financial strength, mentality also explains this supremacy. North African clubs dominate African football because they have developed a true culture of winning in continental competitions, mastering pressure and difficult away matches better than many rivals.
In the middle of this dominance, clubs such as RS Berkane and AS FAR continue to raise standards through professional management and tactical discipline. More information about African club competitions is available on CAF Online, while ambitious teams like Mamelodi Sundowns remain among the few sides capable of regularly challenging this North African supremacy.
