— CS Sfaxien overcame fellow Tunisians Etoile Sahel on away goals four years later after another final between clubs from the same country.

— Tunisia have been the most successful nation in the competition with five titles — Sfaxien lifting the trophy a record three times and Etoile twice.

— Sfaxien and TP Mazembe from the Democratic Republic of Congo share the record for the widest aggregate winning margin of three goals.

— Most of the 13 finals have been much closer affairs with penalty shootouts deciding three, away goals another three, and one goal separating the sides on four occasions.
