Meanwhile, Friday’s draw is scheduled to begin at 12pm local time (12pm Nigerian time) and will be live on CAF’s digital platforms, including CAF YouTube, as well as its partner networks.
CAF also revealed that Fatiha Laasiri, former Morocco and ASFAR player and current U23 Morocco Women’s National Team Assistant Coach, will serve as the draw assistant.

The quintet will be joined by two-time winners and defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa), 2022 champions and hosts ASFAR (Morocco), and DR Congo’s TP Mazembe, who are making a return to this stage after missing the last edition in Cote d’Ivoire.
