The Confederation of African Football has announced Nigeria as the host for the the 2021/22 TotalEnergies Confederation Cup final.

 

The Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria will host the 2021/22 TotalEnergies Confederation Cup final on Friday, 20 May 2022.

CAF will confirm the kick-off time in due course.

This is the first intercontinental major cup final to be hosted in Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. Uyo is the capital of Akwa Ibom State – the home of Nigeria’s Premier League side Akwa United.

Four teams remain in the race to win the 2021/22 TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup. DR Congo’s TP Mazembe scored a late goal to secure 1-0 victory over RS Berkane of Morocco in the first leg of the semi-finals ‘1’.

In the second semi-final, the first leg between Libya’s Al Ahli Tripoli and Orlando Pirates from South Africa saw Orlando Pirates take a 2-0 advantage to the second leg.
