Raja and Army draw in the CAF Confederation Cup

The Moroccan football representatives, Raja Casablanca and the Royal Army, learned their opponents in the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup after the draw held by the Confederation of African Football on Wednesday morning in Cairo, Egypt.

The draw placed Raja Casablanca in Group A alongside Egyptian giants Al Ahly, Togo's ASKO Kara, and Angola's Primeiro de Agosto, where the Green team will face clubs from diverse football backgrounds across the continent.

Meanwhile, the Royal Army was drawn into Group B, which also includes Tanzania's Azam FC, Libya's Al Ahli Tripoli, and Durban City, presenting the military team with various challenges on their journey towards competing for a spot in the next stage.
