The procedure for the draws of the group phase of the Orange CAF Champions League and Orange CAF Confederation Cup was adopted on Monday, 28 April 2014 under the chairmanship of CAF President, Issa Hayatou.
The rankings of the eight qualified teams were achieved on the performance of the last five editions (2009-2013). The rankings for the Orange CAF Confederation Cup are:
Al Ahly (Egypt), Coton Sport ( Cameroon ), AC Leopards (Congo), Sewe Sport (Côte d’Ivoire), Etoile Sportive du Sahel (Tunisia), ASEC Mimosas (Cote d’Ivoire), AS Real ( Mali ) and Nkana ( Zambia).
In Pot 1 are Ahly and Coton Sport and the first team drawn will go to Group A and the other in Group B.
The same will be done for Pot 2 (AC Leopards, Sewe Sport), Pot 3 (Etoile du Sahel, ASEC Mimosas) and Pot 4 (AS Real, Nkana).
A draw will be made to assign a coefficient (A1, B1, A2 …) to establish the order of the matches.
