Draw

[edit]

The draw for the group stage was held on 29 April 2014, 11:00 UTC+2, at the CAF Headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.[3] The eight winners of the play-off round were drawn into two groups of four. Each group contained one team from each of the four seeding pots.[4] The seeding of each team was determined by their ranking points calculated based on performances in continental club championships for the period 2009–2013.

The following eight teams were entered into the draw:

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4

In the group stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the semi-finals.
