The African Champions League group stage continues with four Arab teams competing in four groups. Wydad Casablanca, the reigning champions, begin their campaign tomorrow against JS Kabylie of Algeria.

The second group features a heated Arab confrontation between Sudanese Al-Hilal and their Egyptian host Al-Ahly.

Al-Ahly have the edge in their previous meetings with Al-Hilal, having won four games, drawn four and lost two. Al-Hilal will be unable to have their fans in attendance due to the stadium not meeting CAF regulations.
