Hi, in UEFA Cup article, we don't distinguish between before and after 1999, however it's exactly the same thing concerning the CAF Confederation Cup, i think it's better to merge it with the CAF Cup Brio-En (talk) 11:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Received request to merge the CAF Cup article into the CAF Confederation Cup article on October 2017. Discuss it here. GenQuest "Talk to Me" —Preceding undated comment added 2017-11-18T11:39:05

Support Looking at both articles, it is similar to the UEFA Cup in which it had a different name but sort of a similar format to the CAF Cup before changing it. So I do agree in terms of merging the two together. Matt294069 is coming 11:17, 17 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Support for the same arguments above, we should merge the articles Brio (talk) 00:20, 22 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Oppose CAF Cup merged with Winners Cup in 2004 to form the CAF Confederations Cup. It's not a mere name change, but one tournament replacing two, and the Confederation Cup's format is nothing like CAF Cup's. They are not the same.

The CAF Cup was for runner-ups of premiere national leagues who hadn't made it onto the Winners Cup or Champions Cup (the top two leagues). Whereas Confederation Cup is for the winners of secondary national leagues and 3rd placers for top 12 countries' premier leagues. Runner-ups from premiere leagues do not play in Confederation Cup, because they play in the Champions Cup instead.

On top of not being the same lineage of tournaments (name change), I don't see why it would have needed to be merged in the first place. Other articles like the NAFC Championship, CONCACAF Championship which are the direct predecessors in the same lineage of the CONCACAF Gold Cup each maintain separate articles.

I think also that the merge should have been done with the African cup winners' cup created in 1975. very bad idea to merge it with the caf cup created in 1992--41.250.199.225 (talk) 19:04, 25 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Unmerge CAF Confederation Cup and CAF Cup edit

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a

Merge Proposal and Redirect. Please do not modify it.
The result of a new request for the reversion of a prior Merger (CAF Confederation Cup and CAF Cup) was:

SNOW Consensus Reached–Reverting Merge.
— — — — —

The "consensus" only have 2 people. Someone modified a comment from 2008 to make it look like 3 people supporting the merge. (edit: it always two people. User:Brio and User:Brio-En are the same user before unified login. Thus refactoring one comment would make it duplicated vote instead of +1 vote) Also, it did not notify the football project which contain the most active user to discuss the MoS of football related article, as well as the previous thread was somehow closed by involved editor.

Thus, i nominated for the split of the article. Other user had posted in previous thread that the two competitions are not the same.

  • Support split as nominator. Matthew hk (talk) 22:53, 3 February 2019 (UTC) (comment above edited on 01:38, 4 February 2019 (UTC))Reply

  • Unmerge per nom. CAF never specified that CAF Confederation Cup is the rightful successor to the CAF Cup, onyl that CAF Cup and African Cup Winners Cup were merged into one competition. As per previous setup, there should be 3 separate articles for each competition. TonyStarks (talk) 01:03, 4 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
