Holders Zamalek drawn to face Enyimba - Sfaxien to play Constantine and Simba

CAIRO,  Egypt 

The 2024/25 TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup group stage promises thrilling action after title holders Zamalek were drawn to face Nigerian giants Enyimba following the Group Stage draw on Monday.

Several former champions, including USM Alger, Zamalek SC, and RS Berkane are involved in the group stage this year as they gear up for fierce competition.

The Egyptian side Zamalek were also placed in the same group as their compatriot Al Masry and Black Bulls in what promises to be an exciting Group D.

Zamalek SC are seeking to add another TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup to their illustrious history, but face a tricky group.

Group B features former champions RS Berkane of Morocco, who will look to excel against Mali’s Stade Malien, CD Lundal Sul, and South African debutants Stellenbosch. 

Berkane are tipped by some as favourites to advance, but their challengers are determined to disrupt the status quo.

Group C includes former champions USM Alger from Algeria, who will battle ASEC Mimosas, ASC Jaraaf and Orapa United.

With USM Alger’s pedigree and ASEC’s ambition, this group is expected to deliver high-quality football with ASC Jaraaf and Orapa United proving to be no pushovers.

Group A is arguably the "Group of Death," featuring Simba SC of Tanzania, CS Sfaxien from Tunisia, and Algerian powerhouses CS Constantine.

Angola’s Bravos do Maquis complete the group, but the focus will be on the heavyweight clashes among Simba, Sfaxien, and CS Constantine, all of whom have serious continental credentials.

The group stage kicks off in November, setting the stage for some of Africa’s biggest clubs to chase TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup glory.

Below are the groups

𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 A: Simba SC, CS Sfaxien, CS Constantine, FC Bravos do Maquis

𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 B: RS Berkane,  Stade Malien, Stellenbosch, CD Lundal Sul

𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 C: USM Alger, ASEC Mimosas, ASC Jaraaf, Orapa United
