2019–20 CAF Confederation Cup group stage
The 2019–20 CAF Confederation Cup group stage started on 1 December 2019 and ended on 2 February 2020.[1] A total of 16 teams competed in the group stage to decide the eight places in the knockout stage of the 2019–20 CAF Confederation Cup.[2] DrawThe draw for the group stage was held on 12 November 2019, 12:00 CAT (UTC+2), at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.[3][4] The 16 teams, all winners of the play-off round of qualifying, were drawn into four groups of four. The teams were seeded by their performances in the CAF competitions for the previous five seasons (CAF 5-year ranking points shown in parentheses). Each group contained one team from Pot 1, one team from Pot 2 and two teams from Pot 3, and each team was drawn into one of the positions in their group.

TiebreakersTeams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order (Regulations III. 20 & 21):[2]
