International football competition

The 2011 CAF Confederation Cup (also known as the 2011 Orange CAF Confederation Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the 8th edition of the CAF Confederation Cup, Africa's secondary club football competition organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The winners qualified to play in the 2012 CAF Super Cup.

## Association team allocation

[edit]

Theoretically, up to 55 CAF member associations may enter the 2011 CAF Confederation Cup, with the 12 highest ranked associations according to CAF 5-year ranking eligible to enter 2 teams in the competition. For this year's competition, CAF used 2005–09 5-Year ranking. As a result, a maximum of 67 teams could enter the tournament – although this level has never been reached.

### Ranking system

[edit]

Main article: CAF 5-year ranking

CAF calculates points for each entrant association based on their clubs' performance over the last 5 years in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup, not taking into considering the running year. The criteria for points are the following:[1]

| CAF Champions League | CAF Confederation Cup

|
|

Winner  | 5 points  | 4 points
Runner-up  | 4 points  | 3 points
Semi-finalists  | 3 points  | 2 points
3rd of the groups  | 2 points  | 1 point
4th of the groups  | 1 point  | 1 point

The points shall be multiplied by a coefficient according to the year as follow:

* 2009 – 5
* 2008 – 4
* 2007 – 3
* 2006 – 2
* 2005 – 1

This system is different from the one used for the 2010 CAF Champions League and previous years.

### Entrants list

[edit]

Below is the entrants list for the competition. Nations are shown according to their 2005–2009 CAF 5-year ranking – those with a ranking score have their rank and score indicated.
