Ahly will face Morocco’s Wydad next month in an anticipated two-legged clash in the Champions League semi-final.
They have not won the continent’s blue-riband competition since clinching the last of their record eight titles in 2013.
The Red Devils came close to ending their barren run on two occasions, only to lose to Wydad and Tunisia’s Esperance in the 2017 and 2018 finals respectively.
