Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, and Stellenbosch FC are set to learn their fate in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final draws, respectively, taking place in Doha, Qatar, on Thursday.

Pirates and Sundowns will discover their quarter-final opponents in the Champions League, while Stellenbosch FC will find out who they face in the Confederation Cup, marking their debut in the competition.

The group stage winners will be seeded and drawn against one of the group stage runners-up, with the stipulation that teams cannot face opponents they played in their initial group.

Following the quarter-final draw, the potential semi-final pairings will also be determined in a subsequent draw. The quarter-final ties will be played over two legs, with the first leg of the Champions League scheduled for April 1 and April 8.
