The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has made changes in the teams that qualify for the group stages of the Champions League and the Confederations Cup
In previous seasons, the 16 teams that were eliminated from the first round of the Champions League were given the chance to play in the Confederations Cup play-offs to book a ticket to play in the Confederations group stage
Starting from the next tournament, the teams that will be eliminated from the first round of the Champions League will be removed from the competition as there is no longer a chance to play in the Confederation
So the 16 teams that will qualify for the second round of the Confederation, will play the group stage
The simple meaning is that the teams that will play in the Champions League will not have a chance to play in the Confederations Cup in that season
And those who play in the Confederation from the beginning, 16 teams will play the gropu stage
