CR Belouizdad's Confederation Cup campaign has been put on hold after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) ordered the postponement of their tie against AS Douanes. This decision follows an appeal by Guinea's Hafia FC regarding a legal dispute with the CAF. Consequently, the Algerian club faces an uncertain schedule pending a final ruling. Meanwhile, USM Alger has received clearance from the CAF to host both legs of their second preliminary round against Panthers FC at the 5-Juillet Stadium in Algiers, rather than traveling to Cameroon. The matches are set for October 20 and 25.
