Other confirmed participants include Al Ahli Tripoli of Libya, Black Bulls of Mozambique, Real Bamako of Mali, AS Maniema Union of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Durban City of South Africa, Zambia’s Red Arrows, and Angola’s Primeiro de Agosto. CR Belouizdad could also join the group stage, depending on the result of its qualifying contest involving AS Douanes or Hafia FC.
The draw will take place on October 28 and determine the groups for the next stage of the competition. Clubs will then discover their opponents and begin assessing their routes toward the knockout rounds. For ASKO, the draw will mark an important step in its campaign to represent Togolese football on the continental stage.
