History

On October 6, the representatives of the Federation of North African Football (FNAF) met in Tunis. They agreed that North Africa, once one of the strongest regions in African football, did not have a regional competition that represented the region. Therefore, the President of the FNAF, the Algerian Mohamed Raouraoua, along with the rest of the FNAF, decided that two new competitions would be started in order to bring together the best sides in North Africa. The Cup of Champions brings together the winners of the five domestic leagues in North Africa, whereas the Cup Winners' Cup matches the winners of the five domestic cup competitions around North Africa.

On 2011 The competition was cancelled because the Arab Spring revolutions. On 2015, the Union of North African Football decided to merge the competition with the North African Cup Winners Cup and created the UNAF Club Cup.
