Following the conclusion of the first-round, second-leg matches in the 2020/21 CAF Champions league on 5 and 6 January, 2021, 16 elite football teams have emerged for the second round of Africa’s top club championship.

Incidentally, no Nigerian club will feature in the next round as Nigerian teams continue to flounder on the continent’s big stage, a sad departure from the greater years of yore.

Nigeria’s sole representative and former champion, Enyimba crashed out of the competition after losing to Sudanese side Al-Merreikh 4-2 on aggregate.
