The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially unveiled a new trophy for the CAF Champions League, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The new silverware was presented during a ceremony held in Johannesburg on Thursday, ahead of the highly anticipated semifinal clash between Mamelodi Sundowns and FC Pyramids.

The previous trophy, introduced in 2007, has been retired after 18 years of use.

Egyptian giants Al Ahly were the last club to lift it, having secured the title last season. However, they failed to reach the final this year.

The winner of the two-legged tie between Sundowns and Pyramids will become the first team to be awarded the newly designed trophy.
