The draw was held live from Cairo, Egypt on Wednesday. Kaizer Chiefs missed out on the event after losing their second round qualifier against Red Arrows.

Eric Tinkler’s side face two trips to the tip of the continent to face AS FAR in Morocco and Tripoli in Libya. The third trip to Azam in East Africa will be a much shorter mission.

Tinkler returns to the competition since taking SuperSport United to the final in 2017.

The group stages featurs six matches with home and away matches. The top two teams from each group progress into the quarter-finals.

CAF further confirmed the group-stage action kicks-off between 27 and 29 November 2026, with the second round of matches scheduled for 4–6 December.

Matchday three will comes around between 18 and 20 December. The competition will then resume in January, with fixtures scheduled for 8–10 January, 15–17 January and 22–24 January 2027.

This year’s edition features a few strong favourites for the title. They are Egyptian giants Al Ahly, and the Moroccan duo Raja Casablanca and AS FAR.
