There has been an ongoing feud as to who will take 3rd place. Al Ittihad were originally given 3rd place as JS Kabylie did not play a penalty shootout, as they claim they won the tie on away goals. The Algerian club also said that Ittihad had an unfair advantage playing at home in a one-off match. As a result, CAF will meet on January 19 to discuss the match.
The FNAF later decided that the two clubs would share 3rd place, and therefore share the $75,000 prize fund.
