The draw for the preliminary round and first round of the CAF Champions League (CAFCL) and CAF Confederation Cup (CAFCC) will be held today, Thursday, August 6, in Cairo, Egypt.
Simba SC and their rivals Yanga will represent Tanzania in the CAF Champions League, while Azam FC and Singida Black Stars will compete in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Simba SC, Yanga, and Singida Black Stars will all begin their continental campaigns from the preliminary round. Azam FC, however, have received a bye and will enter directly in the first round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
If Simba successfully progress through both the preliminary round and the first round, they will be placed in Pot 2 for the group stage draw.
Simba are currently ranked seventh among the clubs competing in this season's CAF Champions League.
