Nigerian side Enyimba have been drawn in Group C of the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup alongside Malian side Djoliba.
In the draws conducted at CAF headquarters in Cairo on Saturday afternoon, Enyimba were also drawn with Ivorian side AC Williamsville and CARA Brazaville from Congo.
Djoliba defeated Nigerian side MFM FC in the playoff round 1-0 on aggregate and will travel to Calabar to face Enyimba in their first group game on May 6.
The People’s Elephant will then travel to Brazaville for what looks like their toughest game on paper against CARA, with the competition going on World Cup break after the second round of matches.
