The Confederation Cup was first contested in 2004, following the merger of the African Cup Winners' Cup and the CAF Cup; it has featured an 8-club group stage from the start, with both group winners directly qualifying for the final in the first five seasons; starting with the 2009 season, a semifinal stage is played.
NB: the records below do not include the qualifying rounds prior to the league stage,
but do include the knock-out stage following it. In 2016, ES Sétif were disqualified
during the league stage; that participation is not included below.

NB: only three clubs reached the group stage in at least half of the 20 editions between
1997 and 2016, and only nine did so on 5 or more occasions; for 38 clubs, playing
in the CAF Champions League was a one-off adventure.

NB: to date, the following 12 clubs have entered both the CAF Champions League and
the Confederations Cup group stage on multiple occasions (in addition, 17 other
clubs reached the group stage at least once in both tournaments, of which seven
managed but a single entry in both): ES Sétif, JS Kabylie (both Algeria),
Cotonsport (Cameroon), TP Mazembe (Congo-Kinshasa), Al-Ahly, Ismaily (both Egypt),
ASEC (Ivory Coast), Al-Hilal, Al-Merreikh (both Sudan), Espérance, Etoile du
Sahel and CS Sfaxien (all Tunisia); among this dozen, ASEC and Espérance have made
very poor showings in their Confederation Cup campaigns (in particular compared to
their records in the CAF Champions League), possibly because of the disappointment
of being in the competition in the first place; on the other hand, Etoile du Sahel
competed in the group stage of both competitions on at least 5 occasions and have
a similar (and strong: reaching the semifinals 3 resp. 4 times) record in both;
the record of TP Mazembe (who qualified 8 times out of 11 group stage entries in
the two tournaments combined) is even more impressive.
