The semifinal draw for the 2025-26 CAF Confederation Cup has been confirmed, setting up a major North African clash. Moroccan giants Raja Club Athletic will face Algeria's USM Alger over two legs for a place in the final.

The first legs are scheduled for the weekend of April 4-6, 2026, with the return legs set for April 11-13. The other semifinal will be contested between South Africa's Stellenbosch FC and Libya's Al Ahli Tripoli.

Raja Casablanca, the 2021 champions, advanced by defeating Ghana's Dreams FC. USM Alger, the 2023 titleholders, progressed after a victory over Egypt's Modern Future FC. The tie is a repeat of the 2021 semifinal, which Raja won en route to lifting the trophy.

The winner of the two-legged final in May will earn a place in the 2026 CAF Super Cup against the champion of the CAF Champions League.
