South Africa-born Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane made the draw under the supervision of a Confederation of African Football official and appeared happy at the prospect of facing his former club Sundowns.
Mosimane masterminded a sensational 5-1 quarter-final triumph by Sundowns over Ahly in 2019, but could not prevent the Cairo Red Devils gaining revenge the following season with a 3-1 overall victory.
Altogether, the teams have met 10 times in the elite African club competition with Ahly winning all five matches in Egypt and drawing four and losing one in South Africa. Ahly and TP Mazembe from the Democratic Republic of Congo have failed twice and Enyimba of Nigeria and Esperance of Tunisia once in treble bids after winning back-to-back Champions League titles.
