The 1987 WAFU Club Championship was the ninth football club tournament season that took place for the runners-up of each West African country's domestic league, the West African Club Championship. It was won again by Africa Sports after defeating Asante Kotoko from Ghana 6-5 in penalty shootouts as both clubs had two goals each in its two matches.[1] A total of 45 goals were scored, a second consecutive one. Originally a 24 match season, as Sport Bissau e Benfica withdrew, Africa Sports automatically qualify in the quarterfinals. Imraguens de Nouadhibou started from the semis and lost to Africa Sports there in two matches.
