Double domestic champions, Jwaneng Galaxy could face South African giants, Orlando Pirates once again following the CAF Champions League draw yesterday.

Galaxy have been drawn against Namibian champions, African Stars in the first round with the first leg played away on dates yet to be confirmed.

Orange FA Cup runners-up, Orapa United are pitted against Seychelles side, Foresters FC in the Confederations Cup. If the Ostriches prevail, they face either Zimbabwe's Dynamos or Zambian side, Zesco United. Orapa will target to reach the group stages of the competition for the first time, which will take the tally of teams from Botswana to three that have achieved that feat in the CAF club competitions.
