This weekend marked the end of the second preliminary round of the 2024/2025 CAF Champions League, revealing the 16 clubs that will compete in the group stage. Among these qualifiers, Esperance de Tunis shone brightly by authoritatively eliminating the Somali club Dekedaha SC (4-1 and 8-0 victories). The Blood and Gold's performance left no doubt, once again confirming their status as a major force in African football.

Alongside Esperance, other continental giants have also validated their ticket for this crucial phase of the competition. Al Ahly SC (Egypt), Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa), TP Mazembe (DR Congo), and many other prestigious names will be among the seeded teams for the draw scheduled for Monday, October 7th at 12:00 PM at the CAF headquarters in Cairo. Esperance, thanks to their past exploits, will be a seeded team, just like Al Ahly, Sundowns, and Mazembe.

The 16 qualified teams are:

- Al Ahly SC (Egypt)

- Al Hilal SC (Sudan)

- AS FAR (Morocco)

- AS Maniema Union (DR Congo)

- CR Belouizdad (Algeria)

- Djoliba AC de Bamako (Mali)

- GD Sagrada Esperança (Angola)

- Espérance Sportive de Tunis (Tunisia)

- Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa)

- MC Alger (Algeria)

- Pyramids FC (Egypt)

- Orlando Pirates (South Africa)

- Raja Casablanca (Morocco)

- Stade d’Abidjan (Ivory Coast)

- TP Mazembe (DR Congo)

- Young Africans SC (Tanzania)

The date is therefore set for October 7th. Good luck to our Blood and Gold in this new adventure!
