Nigerian champions and only representative in the 2024 CAF Champions League, Edo Queens, have been drawn in Group B of the tournament alongside defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns, Ethiopia’s CBE F.C. and Toutankhamon of Egypt.

The draws for the main tournament, which will be hosted in Morocco from November 9 to 23, 2024, were made at the Complex Mohamed VI in Salé, Morocco, on Friday, with eight teams grouped into two groups of four.

Meanwhile, Group A consists of one-time winners AS FAR of Morocco, Senegal’s Aigles De La Medina, Congolese club TP Mazembe and South Africa’s University of Western Cape.

Following Bayelsa United’s impressive run in the second edition of the tournament in 2022, where they finished third, Edo Queens hopes to surpass the achievement of their South-South counterparts.
