AFAD was eliminated from the African Confederation Cup on Saturday, October 24, in Sfax, following their 1-0 defeat against CS Sfaxien at the Ta\u00efeb-Mhiri stadium.<\/p>\n
Iyed Belwafi scored the only goal of the match in the seventh minute. The Tunisian club then maintained this lead until the final whistle.<\/p>\n
This result brings the aggregate score to 2-1 in favor of CS Sfaxien. AFAD had secured a 1-1 draw in the first leg played on October 17 at the F\u00e9lix-Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny stadium in Abidjan.<\/p>\n
The Ivorian team thus exits the competition at the second preliminary round, while CS Sfaxien advances to the group stage of the 2026-2027 edition.<\/p>\n
The Tunisian club has already won the Confederation Cup three times. The CAF specifies that it will aim for a fourth title, which would set a record in the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
