The draw for the play-off round of the 2017 Confederation Cup took place on Tuesday morning at the CAF Headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.
The draw pitted the 16 qualified teams from the first round of the Confederation Cup against the 16 clubs which were eliminated from the CAF Champions League.
The first leg encounters are scheduled for the weekend of 7-9 April 2017 with the return games on the weekend of 14-16 April 2017.
Defending champions TP Mazembe, who were knocked out the 2017 Champions League by Zimbabwean side CAPS United, have been paired with Algeria team JS Kabylie.
