Interpreting user request

The user is asking for an overview of the teams participating in the African Champions League, likely referring to the CAF Champions League. Since I can’t browse for current data, I need to clarify which season they’re interested in. My knowledge goes up to October 2024, and the current date is December 2025, which may make my info outdated. I'll outline the qualification process, number of teams, country slots, and format, while providing examples from the last completed season, such as Al Ahly, TP Mazembe, and others.Clarifying team information

I’m recalling some details about the CAF Champions League for the 2023-24 season. The group stage included teams like Al Ahly, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Young Africans, among others. However, I want to be careful not to provide incorrect information, especially since the user might be looking for current season data. Instead of listing every team, I’ll focus on providing an overview and clarify with the user which season and level of detail they want.Explaining CAF Champions League qualification

I need to provide a general overview of the qualification process for the CAF Champions League, which involves a 5-year ranking system and varies in total participants, usually around 54 to 60 teams from member associations. The top 12 associations send two teams each. The tournament consists of two preliminary rounds, a group stage with four groups, and a knockout phase. Recently, there was a change back to two-legged finals starting in 2023-24, but I should phrase things carefully to avoid inaccuracies.Overview of notable clubs by country

I can provide an overview of notable clubs participating in the CAF Champions League by country. For instance, Egypt has Al Ahly, Pyramids, and Zamalek, though Zamalek often focuses on the Confederation Cup. Morocco features Wydad and Raja Casablanca, while Tunisia is represented by Esperance Tunis and Etoile du Sahel. Other notable clubs include Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa, TP Mazembe from DR Congo, and Simba SC from Tanzania. I should present these by region to give a clearer picture of the likely participants.Overview of African Football League and Clubs

I can mention the new African Football League introduced in 2023, which features top clubs, but the CAF Champions League remains the primary competition. It would be helpful to ask the user which season they need details for so I can provide a season-specific list or a summary in CSV or JSON format.

I might include concise bullet points about team qualifications, traditional clubs in various countries, and recent champions to give a clearer picture. Additionally, I should confirm if they want specifics for a certain season.
