The first phase will see pitting the winners of the 1/8th round of the Orange CAF Confederation Cup against the losers of the 1/8th round of the CAF Champions League. The 16 clubs have been divided into four pots based on their rankings.
Pot A contains the top-ranked teams by CAF from the losers of the 1/8th round of the CAF Champions League namely Ahly (Egypt), Esperance (Tunisia) and AC Leopards (Congo).
They will draw against the four lowest ranked teams from the winners of the 1/ 8th round of the CAF Confederation Cup in Pot B. The four are ASEC Mimosas (Cote d’Ivoire), Hearts of Oak (Ghana), Club Africain (Tunisia) and Warri Wolves (Nigeria).
The four top ranked teams from the winners of the 1/8 th round of the CAF Confederation Cup will be in Pot C, thus AS Vita (DR Congo), Orlando Pirates (South Africa), Zamalek (Egypt) and Etoile Sportive du Sahel (Tunisia). They will be drawn against the lowest ranked four teams of the losers of the 1/8 th round of the CAF Champions League namely AS Kaloum (Guinea), Sanga Balende (DR Congo), Raja Athletic Club (Morocco) and Stade Malien (Mali).
The winners of the 1/8th round of the CAF Confederation Cup will play first at home.
The second phase of the draw will be the composition of the groups. All eight teams will be in one pot. The team drawn first will go directly to Group, and next in Group B and so on. A draw will also be done to determine the exact number of the letter of each team in its group (A1, A2, A3 or A4) or (B1, B2, B3 or B4).
