[*1] until the end of the 2002 season, AS Vita had won 24 championships
in the Kinshasa league, twice the Challenge Papa Kalala (1982-1989),
apparently entitling them to enter the African Cup Winners Cup (this
must refer to their cup wins 1982 and 1983), and eleven times the
Coupe du Congo (entitling the winners to enter the African Champions
Cup between 1964 and 1989 as well as from 1992 to 1995 (with the losing
finalists entering the Cup Winners Cup apart from the period 1982-1989?)
and entitling the winners to enter the African Cup Winners Cup in 1990,
1991 and since 1996 (with the introduction of the Coupe de la LINAFOOT).
[*2] DC Motema Pembe won the Challenge Papa Kalala twice (this must refer
to their cup wins 1984 (as Imana) and 1985) and the Coupe de
L'Indépendance three times. They were forced to change name from Imana
to Motema Pembe in 1985 by CAF following crowd trouble in their African
Cup Winners Cup match against Dragons de l'Ouémé.
