Pyramids will begin their CAF Champions League group-stage campaign at home against Maghreb Fes on one of 27, 28 or 29 November, following Wednesday’s draw.

The Egyptian club have been placed in Group D alongside Maghreb Fes, Guinea’s Horoya Conakry and Al-Hilal of Sudan.

Pyramids will also finish the group stage at home, hosting Horoya Conakry in their final fixture. The exact dates for each match will be confirmed within the specified three-day windows.

Pyramids reached the group stage after defeating South Sudanese side El Merrikh Bentiu.

Their Group D schedule is:

The draw confirmed a six-match group-stage programme for Pyramids, with three home fixtures in Cairo and three away matches against the other teams in Group D.

Pyramids’ opening assignment will be against Maghreb Fes in Cairo, before they travel to face Horoya Conakry in early December. They will then host Al-Hilal later that month.

The return fixtures begin in January, with Pyramids visiting Al-Hilal before travelling to Maghreb Fes. Their campaign concludes with Horoya Conakry’s visit to Cairo.
