Draw For Confederation Cup 2nd Additional Preliminary Round Announced

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has revealed on Wednesday the draw of the Confederation Cup second additional preliminary round, in which Egypt's Al Masry and Pyramids are taking part.

Egypt's Al Masry are set to clash against Côte d'Or FC, while Pyramids will play against Young Africans.

The losing team from Zamalek and Generation Foot's Champions League encounter, which is set to be replayed on Thursday, October 24, will face Benin's ESAF FC.

Al Masry qualified for the last 32 of the CAF Confederation Cup after smashing Malindi at Borg Al Arab 7-2 on Aggregate, whereas Pyramids followed the footsteps of their fellow Al Masry as they qualified for the CAF Confederation last 32 after defeating CR Belouizdad 2-1 on Aggregate.

CAF decided on Tuesday, October 8 to restage the Champions League match between Egypt’s Zamalek and Senegal’s Generation Foot in Cairo.

The Whites were due to host the Senegalese side at Cairo’s Petro Sport Stadium on Saturday, September 29, but the match was moved to Alexandria’s Borg Al Arab Stadium a day later due to claimed security reasons presented by Zamalek in an official letter to CAF.

The crisis sparkled after the Senegalese club refused to head to Alexandria, and they withdrew from the White Knights’ encounter in the second leg of the last 32.

CAF is currently holding the draw of the Champions League group stage as the sixteen teams, who qualified for the group stage were pided into four levels for four groups. The first and second teams of each group will advance automatically to the last eight of the tournament.
