The CAF Super Cup, known as TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup for sponsorship reasons, is an annual African association football competition contested between the winners of the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup. The competition was first held in 1993 and is organized by the CAF.

The competition has been won by 17 clubs, 6 of which have won it more than once. Al Ahly is the most successful club in the competition's history, having won the tournament a record 8 times. Zamalek SC are the current defending champions, having beaten Al Ahly SC 4-3 on penalty shootouts after a 1-1 draw in the original time in the 2024 CAF Super Cup
The African Super Cup started and organized in 1993 by the CAF under the name of the CAF Super Cup, It is played in a single match and on the field of the winner of the CAF Champions League (exception in 2007). Until 2003, the African Super cup pitted the winner of the Champions League against the winner of the African Cup Winners' Cup. When the latter disappeared, it was the winner of the CAF Confederation Cup who took the place. [1] The notable edition was in 1994, Zamalek and Al Ahly, the two Egyptian belligerents met for the trophy in the infamous Cairo derby. They met in FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. Zamalek won and achieved the title as the first Egyptian team to win the African Super cup.
On only six occasions, the winner of the Champions League lost in this competition: the Ivorian club Africa Sports d'Abidjan beat the Moroccans Wydad AC in the first edition in Abidjan in 1993, the ES Sahel have beat Raja CA in 1997, Maghreb de Fès beat ES Tunis in 2012, Raja CA and Zamalek SC beat ES Tunis in 2019 and 2020, and finally RS Berkane have beat Wydad AC in 2022.
Fez Maghreb is the first Confederation Cup winning club to have won the CAF Supercup since the CAF Champions League winner clashed with the CAF Confederation Cup winner. [2]
In July 2016, Total secured an eight-year sponsorship package from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to support 10 of its principal competitions. Total started with the Africa Cup of Nations that was held in Gabon therefore renaming it Total Africa cup of Nations. [8] Due to this sponsorship, starting from 2017 the tournament is called the "Total CAF Super Cup".
