Egypt’s Zamalek SC, Algeria’s CR Belouizdad and USM Alger, along with Morocco’s Olympique Club de Safi, will contest the semi-finals in April.
CR Belouizdad’s qualification is historic, marking the Algerian club’s first continental semi-final appearance in 30 years.
Zamalek SC will face CR Belouizdad, a clash between Egyptian experience and Algerian resurgence. Meanwhile, USM Alger take on Olympique Club de Safi in a North African showdown, with a place in the final at stake. Both ties will be played over two legs.
