Huracanes FC from Equatorial Guinea were the last team to hammer in their names in the final line-up following their 3-2 victory over TP Mazembe from DR Congo at the weekend.

This year’s event will be the third edition of the tournament and will have five debutants joining the fray.

Huracanes FC, who will be participating in the tournament for the first time, will be joined by reigning champions ASFAR from Morocco and South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns who won the 2021 competition.
