QUARTER FINALS
Pot 1 will contain all 2nd place teams (runners-up) of their groups:
- Al Ahly SC
- CR Belouizdad
- Kaizer Chiefs FC
- MC Alger
Pot 2 will contain 3 balls of the 1st place team of Group A: (Simba SC x 3 balls)
Pot 3 will contain 3 balls of the 1st place team of Group B: (Mamelodi Sundowns x 3 balls)
Pot 4 will contain 3 balls of the 1st place team of Group C: (Waydad AC x 3 balls)
Pot 5 will contain 3 balls of the 1st place team of Group D: (Esperance du Tunis x 3 balls)
Pot 6 will be an empty pot.
Step 1:
· Pick a ball from the runners-up pot (Pot 1) and show the team drawn.
Step 2:
· Pick 1 ball from the other pots (pots 2,3,4&5) except the pot that has the team that played in the same group of the runner-up team drawn in step 1 (to avoid having two teams from the same group playing each other).
- Example: if we pick the runner-up (2nd of group A), we take one ball from pot 3, one from pot 4 and one from pot 5 and we eliminate pot 2 (containing the balls of 1st of Group A).
Step 3:
· The picked balls in step 2 are put in the empty pot (Pot 6).
Step 4:
· Mix the three balls of Pot 6 before picking one ball to determine the team who will face the runner up drawn in step 1 for the Quarterfinal 1.
Step 5:
· The same process will be repeated three more times in order to determine the remaining fixtures (Quarterfinal 2, Quarterfinal 3 & Quarterfinal 4) while eliminating the pot of the ball drawn in step 4.
According to the regulations: The runners-up shall play the first leg matches of the quarterfinals at home.
