History

The competition was founded at the beginning of 1975 by the Confederation of African Football, following the example of UEFA in Europe, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. For the first edition, fifteen teams took part registered and it was the Cameroonian club of Tonnerre Yaoundé who were the first winners, after defeating the Ivorians Stella Club d'Adjamé in the final.[1]
