Despite being drawn into a tough Group B last season, which featured Arab clubs Al Ahly, AS FAR and JS Kabylie, Yanga once again face a similar challenge this season after being placed in Group B.
This time, Wananchi will travel to Egypt to face Zamalek, head to Algeria to take on MC Alger, and travel to Tunisia to meet Club Africain.
Last season, Yanga finished third in the group stage with eight points. Clearly, preparations must begin early this time around to ensure they collect at least nine points or more, which could be enough to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
One of Yanga's key weapons will be making the most of home advantage. They must aim to collect all nine points at home before targeting at least one point away.
Club Africain and MC Alger are familiar opponents for Yanga, having faced them in recent seasons, while Zamalek will be a new opponent for the Tanzanian side.
Group B appears to be the Group of Death, but Wananchi could still surprise many by qualifying for the quarter-finals.
