The first leg matches are due to hold in the weekend of March 11 to 13.
Five-time champions, TP Mazembe, will begin their defence of the CAF Champions League when they travel to Saint George of Ethiopia in the first round of the competition in the weekend of March 11-13.

Others included Egypt’s Al Ahly, Etoile du Sahel from Tunisia, Algeria’s ES Setif as well as Sudan giants Al Hilal and Al Merreikh.
