The Sudanese champions progressed to the last eight after topping Group C. However, the draw held in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, February 17 paired them with RS Berkane, who finished runners-up in Group A behind defending champions Pyramids FC.

Reghecampf dismissed suggestions that Al Hilal had been handed a favourable tie, describing the encounter as evenly matched and likely to be decided "by the truth on the pitch.”

"Every team has its chances,” he said. "It will be a very tough game. I think we can consider it a tactical battle between two good teams.”

The first-leg matches are scheduled for March 13–14, with the return legs set for March 20–21. RS Berkane will host the opening leg in Morocco before travelling to Kigali for the decisive second leg a week later.

The winner of the tie will face either AS FAR or Pyramids FC in the semifinals.
