Rules
The CAF Super Cup is played as a single match, with the CAF Champions League winners hosting the match. If the score is tied at the end of regulation, extra time will not be played, and the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winner (CAF Champions League Regulations XXVII and CAF Confederation Cup Regulations XXV).[2][3]
Sponsorship
In July 2016, Total has secured an eight-year sponsorship package from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to support 10 of its principal competitions. Total started with the Africa Cup of Nations that was held in Gabon therefore renaming it Total Africa cup of Nations.[4] Due to this sponsorship, starting from 2017 the tournament is called the "Total CAF Super Cup".
