Stellenbosch Drawn To Meet Zamalek In Confed Cup Quarterfinal

Stellenbosch FC have performed admirably to reach the Caf Confederation Cup quarterfinals but have their work cut out progressing further having been drawn to face Egyptian giants Zamalek.

The draw was held in Doha, Qatar on Thursday.

Zamalek reached the quarters finishing top of group D on 14 points, ahead of fellow Egyptian outfit Al Masry on nine.

Bitter rivals of fellow Cairo giants Al Ahly as Egypt's top two clubs, Zamalek have plenty of pedigree, with 14 league titles domestically and five wins in the Caf Champions League and two in the Confederation Cup.

After last season's Premiership heroics, reaching the Confed by finishing third, Stellenbosch had their squad plundered to some extent by bigger clubs and are battling in seventh place this campaign.
