The preliminary draw for the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup will take place on Tuesday
The draw for the 2023/24 season of the preliminary stages of the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup will take place on Tuesday at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.
The draw, which will kick off this year's continental club competition, will begin at 2:00 p.m. Cairo time (11:00 GMT), according to a statement from CAF.
Fifty-four clubs from 42 member associations are participating in the CAF Champions League this season, while 52 clubs representing 41 member associations will take part in the CAF Confederation Cup.
CAF club competitions, including the CAF Women's Champions League, have seen phenomenal growth in recent seasons, thanks to CAF's increased investment in broadcast technology and global marketing commitment to its competitions.
Last season's finals of both competitions saw record viewership and attendance, this trend is set to increase and carry over to the knockout and group stages of both competitions as the appetite for premium African football content continues to grow globally.
Egyptians Al Ahly are the current holders of the CAF Champions League after their hard-fought victory over Moroccans Wydad Casablanca. Meanwhile, USM Alger of Algeria hold the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup title after defeating Young Africans of Tanzania in one of the tournament's most memorable finals.
Enyimba, champion of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), and Remo Stars of Ikenne, vice-champion, are the representatives of the most populous African country for the CAF Champions League.
On the other hand, former Champions Rivers United and Bendel Insurance will compete as the country's representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup.
While Enyimba are two-time Champions League winners, no Nigerian club have won the Confederation Cup, a narrative many wish to see changed this season.
