Familiar foes will re-unite once again after the group stage draw for the 2022-23 TotalEnergies CAF Champions League was conducted on Monday afternoon in Cairo.

Group B will see an almost familiar line up to last season with record champions Al Ahly, Mamelodi Sundowns and Sudan’s Al Hilal drawn together once again. They will be joined in the group by Cameroon’s Cotonsport.

During the competition last term, they were drawn in Group A where Sundowns finished the group unbeaten, hitting Ahly home and away.

Defending champions Wydad Athletic Club have been drawn in Group A and are also re-uniting with a side they faced in the group stages last year, Petro de Luanda. They lost to the Angolan giants in Luanda, but had revenge with a massive 5-1 victory in the corresponding tie in Casablanca.

They will be joined in the group by Congolese side AS Vita Club and Algeria’s JS Kabylie... who are returning to the group phase after a long spell out.

Group C will meanwhile see an interesting East African battle with Simba SC of Tanzania drawn together with Ugandan debutants Vipers SC. They are joined in the group by Morocco’s Raja Club Athletic and Guinea’s Horoya.

Group D will meanwhile play host to some tantalizing North African derbies, with Tunisia’s Esperance, Egypt’s Zamalek and Algeria’s CR Belouizdad all drawn together. Joining them in the group is Sudan’s El Merrikh.

The group phase will kick off in February, just after the conclusion of the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Algeria in January.

That is a shame too. It would be interesting to understand the reasons behind that.

Ej Garr · 06-02-2023 23:30

Well, I guess it would be up to us to change that, right? I will gladly try to be more active here and hang out with everyone. I have been here for 5 years and I hope to be here for the rest of my life building relationships, so we must do what we must do!

Political, economic situation in Tunisia is so desperate that people are just surviving this bad time … hoping for better days that are not coming … we do not foresee any better days … the situation is going from bad to worse … who is willing to get involved in a discussion when he’s / she’s desperately looking for essential food to survive ??

Ej Garr · 07-02-2023 05:52

Very true. Forgive me for hoping the forum could be active when desperate times are hard to even survive, much less post about sokker matches etc.

I apologize to all who are struggling to make ends meet and hope with you that things find their way to a better day. I know, we can omly wish.
