The draw for the group stage of the CAF Champions League is taking place today in Egypt at 2 pm
before the draw of the champions, it will precede the draw of the Federation cup which will be held at 1 pm
After last season's success in playing in the quarter-finals and being eliminated at that stage against Mamelodi Sundowns who benefited from the referee's mistake that rejected Yanga's legitimate goal in regular time, Yanga is ready to do more than last season
Yanga will be the second pot together with CRB (Algeria), Raja CA (Morocco) and Pyramids FC (Egypt)
In its group Yanga will be organized by one team from each pot ie pot 1, pot 3 and pot 4
Pot 1 are Al Ahly SC (Egypt), Esperance Sportive de Tunis (Tunisia), Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa) and TP Mazembe (DR Congo)
Pot 3 are Al Hilal (Sudan), Orlando Pirates (South Africa), GD Sagrada Esperanca (Angola) and AS FAR (Morocco)
Pot 4 are MC Alger (Algeria), AS Maniema Union (DR Congo), Djoliba de Bamako (Mali) and Stade d'Abidjan (Cote d'Ivoire)
Yanga is among the teams that are given the chance to do better in this season's championship due to what they did last season
Teams like Mamelodi Sundowns which last season tasted the joy of Yanga football, it is clear that they will not want to meet Yanga again when the people want them to finish with them
Last season Yanga was in the same group as Al Ahly, if it happens again this time they become the same group, it will be a chance for the people to take revenge for losing the second game away against the defending champions
