Durban City have discovered their opponents for the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup following Wednesday afternoon’s draw in Cairo, Egypt.

Eric Tinkler’s side have been drawn in Group B alongside Libyan outfit Al Ahly Tripoli, Tanzania’s Azam FC and Moroccan club AS FAR as they prepare for their first appearance in the group stage of the competition.

City secured their place in continental football after winning the Nedbank Cup, marking a significant milestone for the club in their debut season on the African stage.

The KwaZulu-Natal outfit have made an impressive start to their continental campaign, winning all four of their matches in the qualifying rounds.

They will now face a tougher test against three experienced opponents as they look to maintain their momentum and continue making an impression in their maiden continental campaign.

The group-stage matches are scheduled to begin in November, although CAF is yet to confirm the exact fixtures, kick-off times and venues.

The draw has divided the 16 qualified teams into four groups of four, setting up a series of intriguing encounters across the continent.
