The group stage draw of the CAF Champions League, held today, Monday, in Johannesburg, South Africa, resulted in fiery confrontations awaiting AS FAR and RS Berkane, the representatives of Moroccan football in the most prestigious continental club competition.
AS FAR was drawn in Group B alongside strong clubs, namely JS Kabylie of Algeria, Young Africans of Tanzania, and Al Ahly of Egypt, in a group described as the "group of death" due to the strength of the competitors and their extensive continental experience.
Group A: Power Dynamos (Zambia) – Rivers United (Nigeria) – Pyramids (Egypt) – RS Berkane (Morocco)
Group B: JS Kabylie (Algeria) – AS FAR (Morocco) – Young Africans (Tanzania) – Al Ahly (Egypt)
Group C: Etoile du Congo (Congo) – Mouloudia Club d'Alger (Algeria) – Al-Hilal (Sudan) – Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa)
Group D: Stade Malien (Mali) – Petro de Luanda (Angola) – Simba (Tanzania) – Espérance de Tunis (Tunisia)
The two Moroccan teams are expected to face a difficult journey in the tournament, especially as AS FAR will face clubs with a long history in the Champions League, while RS Berkane will try to confirm its position as one of the most prominent clubs on the continent in recent years, and strive for a new achievement to add to its continental record.
