FOREWORD BY CAF PRESIDENT

THE LUCKY

Football, particularly African football, has this characteristic of offering us an incredible show of wonder and satisfaction on a regular basis.

The same can be said for the Total CAF Confederation Cup 2018, which has overcome all predictions by offering a superb final between two clubs, Raja Club Athletic () and AS Vita Club (DR Congo), who have a remarkable record and have displayed high technical abilities.

We should, once again, enjoy this spectacular event with the belief that we will proudly live through historical moments. We will celebrate the winner and congratulate the loser.

Regardless of the ultimate outcome of this final, we will celebrate the lucky star of African #FootballTogether football. CAF President Ahmad Ahmad
