UFOA Cup


West African Club Championship, also known as General Eyadema Cup and usually contested by runners-up in the leagues involved. The 2000 edition was never completed and WAFU (UFOA) decided to replace the club tournament by one for nations. Revived after nearly a decade in 2009, but only played for three more seasons. The 4-team edition in 2017 was described as "inaugural", suggesting it is not considered part of the series in spite of carrying then same name.
