CAIRO, May 5 (Aswat Masriya) - Egypt's al-Ahly and Zamalek clubs, the country's two most popular football teams, will play against the Tunisian Club Africa and the Congolese Sanga Balende, respectively, in the 2015 Orange Confederation Cup playoffs.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) made the draw for the 1/8th round on Tuesday in Cairo.

Should both Egyptian teams qualify for the next round, they will play within different groups and therefore will not play against one another.

The tournament is due to begin on May 15.

The CAF also conducted on Tuesday the draw for the 2015 Orange Champions League.

Egypt's Smouha club is among the eight teams competing in the tournament. Other teams include the Moroccan Moghreb Tetouan, the Congolese TP Mazembe, the Sudanese El Hilal, the Algerian ES Setif, MC Eulma and USM Alger and the Sudanese El Merreikh.
