Berkane, Simba Reach Confederation Cup Final May 17

Moroccan club RS Berkane and Tanzania's Simba SC have advanced to the final of the CAF Confederation Cup after overcoming CS Constantine and Stellenbosch, respectively. Berkane progressed despite a 1-0 defeat in Algeria, thanks to their earlier dominant 4-0 home win, while Simba secured their place following a goalless draw in South Africa, having previously won 1-0 at home. Berkane, previous champions in 2020 and 2022, will host the first leg of the final in Morocco, with the return leg to be played in Tanzania. Simba aims to become Tanzania's first continental club champions, making this final historically significant for both clubs. Both semi-finals highlighted the importance of aggregate scores and tight margins, with VAR decisions also playing a crucial role. The final promises a clash between established Moroccan experience and Tanzanian ambition.
