# 2024–25 CAF Confederation Cup knockout stage

The 2024–25 CAF Confederation Cup knockout stage will start on 2 April with the quarter-finals and end on 25 May 2025 with the second leg of the final to decide the champions of the 2024–25 CAF Confederation Cup. 8 teams will compete in the knockout stage.
Times are local.

## Round and draw dates

The schedule will be as follows.
| Round | Draw date | First leg | Second leg |
| Quarter-finals | 20 February 2025 | 2 April 2025 | 9 April 2025 |
| Semi-finals | 20 February 2025 | 20 April 2025 | 27 April 2025 |
| Final | 20 February 2025 | 17 May 2025 | 25 May 2025 |

## Format

Each tie in the knockout phase will be played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team scoring more goals on aggregate over the two legs will advance to the next round. If the aggregate score will be level, the away goals rule will be applied, i.e. the team that will score more goals away from home over the two legs will advance. If away goals will also be equal, then extra time will not be played and the winners will be decided by a penalty shoot-out (Regulations III. 26 & 27).
The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:
* In the draw for the quarter-finals, the four group winners were seeded, and the four group runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group could not be drawn against each other, while teams from the same association could be drawn against each other.
* In the draws for the semi-finals, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other. As the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals were held together before the quarter-finals were played, the identity of the quarter-final winners was not known at the time of the semi-final draw.
