The Zambian duo of Zesco United and Nkana FC have been drawn in group C of the 2018/2019 CAF confederation cup,during the draws which were conducted in Cairo, Egypt.
The two Copperbelt based teams had an impressive run in the first and second leg that saw them qualifying to the group stages at the expense of San Pedro and Kaizer Chiefs.
Another inclusion in the group is Asante Kotoko of Ghana and Al Hilal of Sudan. Kotoko makes a return to CAF competitions having eliminated Coton Sport of Cameroon with a 5-3 win aggregate scoreline.
Ironically, all the three Moroccan teams that qualified have been drawn in group A and only joined by Otoho d’Oyo of Congo.
Group B is also dominated by Tunisian sides who have also been paired.

The group winners and runners up from each group will have a slot in the Quarterfinals of the competition.

Team’s from the same country should never be in the same group at this stage of competition. CAF needs to look into this
What criteria did caf use to pair teams?
This is ridiculous to pair same teams in a group. This is unfair. These draws should be redone if they want to see total football in the Continent of Africa. The system is unprofessional. Alick
It is not strange to see teams from one country drawn in the same group. This has been happening even in europe. This is certainly taking the rivalry to the highest level. I can’t wait for the drama to unfold.
@ kensplash, which champions league? this is myopic indeed. 3 morocan teams in one place. draws shud be redone
Am in Ghana as a sports journalist and am trying to get numbers of officer’s of zesco utd and nkana for interview pls help me with the number
