Match info:
Match K.O at 21:30 Cairo local time
Alexandria Stadium
The only Egyptian representatives Smouha kick off their maiden Champions League group-stage campaign when they host Moroccos Moghreb Tetouan at Alexandria Stadium on Sunday.
The Alexandrians, who made it to the Champions League after finishing runners-up in the league last season, have been drawn in a stern Group A that also includes DR Congos TP Mazembe and Sudanese giants Hilal.
Despite not having the best of qualification chances in such a group, Smouha will be hoping for a good display against Tetouan who ousted Cairo giants Ahly in the competitions last-16 to make up for some poor showings of late.
Lying 12th in the Egyptian league table, Smouha do not really look the same resilient side of last season, having been beaten 1-0 by third-from-bottom Ragaa last week to spark unrest inside the club.
And the result was the sacking of manager Helmi Toulan, as head of the youth sector Mimi Abdel-Razek took over as a caretaker coach.
Smouha will make a dream Champions League group-stage appearance just five years after sealing top-flight promotion in 2010.
