Notes[]

  1. ^ The Al Ahly v Al Merrikh match, originally scheduled to be played on 11/12 February 2022, was rescheduled to be played on 5 March 2022 due to Al Ahly's participation in the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup in United Arab Emirates between 3 and 12 February 2022.
  2. ^ Al Merrikh play their group stage home matches at Al Ahly WE Al Salam Stadium, Cairo (Egypt), instead of their regular home stadium Al Merrikh Stadium, Omdurman (Sudan), which did not meet CAF requirements.
