Title-holders, Al Ahly, of Egypt will face Orlando Pirates of South Africa after both were placed in Group C when the CAF Champions’ League group-stage draw was made on Monday.

Chabab Belouizdad of Algeria and Stade Abidjan of the Cote d’Ívoire complete the section following the draw at the Confederation of African Football offices in Cairo.
