Algerian club USM Alger has qualified for the final of the CAF Confederation Cup after defeating Morocco's OC Safi in the second leg of their semi-final tie. The match, played on April 19, 2026, at the Stade de Marrakech, ended in a 1-1 draw, which was sufficient for USM Alger to progress with a 3-2 aggregate score.
The encounter was tense, with USM Alger's Abderrahmane Meziane opening the scoring in the 33rd minute. OC Safi equalized in the second half through an own goal, but could not find the winner needed to overturn the first-leg deficit. The result sets up a final against either Egypt's Zamalek SC or Nigeria's Rivers United.
The CAF Confederation Cup final is scheduled to be played over two legs in May 2026. USM Alger will be seeking its second title in the competition, having previously won it in 2023.
