The domination of North African clubs in the African Champions League is evident, with 6 out of 8 qualified teams hailing from the region. Despite the absence of Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly, the professionalism and strength of leagues in countries like Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt are evident.
Tunisia is represented by Esperance de Tunis and CS Sfaxien, both strong contenders with a history of success in the competition. The Democratic Republic of Congo also boasts two representatives, TP Mazembe and AS Vita Club, the latter aiming for their first continental title since 1973.
Zamalek, with its rich history and 5 previous titles, carries the Egyptian torch in this edition. Other contenders include Sétif from Algeria, Al Hilal Ondurman from Sudan, and Al Ahli Benghazi from Libya, who surprised many with their victory over the National.
The draw for the group stage is scheduled for April 29, where the competition will intensify as these formidable teams vie for continental glory.
