The Confederation of the African Football (CAF) informed on Monday Zamalek's of Egypt that it has qualified for the CAF Champions League (CL) group stage after Chad's Champions Gazelle's failure in travelling to Cairo.

Authorities in Chad banned the team from travelling to Egypt because of the spread of coronavirus pandemic.

A source in CAF said that CAF informed the White Knights with their qualification for the group stage.

Gazelle were due to land in Cairo on Monday to face the last edition runner up Zamalek in the last 32 of the tournament.

It is worth mentioning that the White Knights had suffered a 2-1 defeat to their arch rival Al Ahly in the last edition final to lose the title.
