List of top-division football clubs in CAF countries
 | This article needs to be updated. (April 2023) |
CAF countries on this map of the world's six football confederations.
This is a list of top-division association football clubs in CAF countries. CAF, the African football confederation, includes all African countries as members.
The
British Overseas Territory, and Western Sahara
, a disputed territory, are not members of CAF or any other football confederation.
Each of the CAF member countries have their own football league systems. The clubs playing in each top-level league compete for the title as the country's club champions, and also for places in next season's CAF club competitions, i.e., the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup. Due to promotion and relegation, the clubs playing in the top-level league in many countries are different every season.
The champions of the previous season in each country are listed in bold.
- For clubs playing at lower divisions, see the separate articles linked to in the relevant sections.
- For clubs belonging to any of the other five continental football confederations of the world, see List of football (soccer) clubs.
