Al Ahly have secured their place in the quarter-finals of the 2025-2026 CAF Champions League, leaving the race for the second qualifying spot in Group B wide open.
The Egyptian giants currently sit on nine points, ensuring they will finish no lower than second in the group, regardless of the final round results.
This confirms their continued dominance in African club football and sets up their next challenge in the knockout stages.
The second place in Group B will be decided between Moroccan side AS FAR and Tanzanian club Young Africans.
AS FAR lead their Tanzanian rivals by three points, holding eight points to Young Africans’ five, making the final group match decisive for both sides.
AS FAR can secure qualification with a win or even a draw against Al Ahly in the final fixture. However, a loss would not necessarily eliminate them if Young Africans fail to beat JS Kabylie or if AS FAR maintain a superior goal difference.
Currently, AS FAR have a +1 advantage in overall goal difference, compared to Young Africans’ -2.
This scenario sets up a tense conclusion to Group B, where strategy and discipline will be crucial.
Both AS FAR and Young Africans will approach the final matches with everything at stake, as even small margins could determine which club progresses to the quarter-finals.
The CAF Champions League continues to provide drama and excitement, with the final round of group-stage fixtures promising a high-stakes finish.
Clubs will be keen to assert their continental ambitions as they prepare for the knockout rounds.
Fans across Africa will be watching closely to see who joins Al Ahly in the quarter-finals and keeps their hopes alive in Africa’s premier club competition.
