Egypt's Al Ahly are looking to win a ninth African Champions title

Al Ahly have postponed celebrating winning the Egyptian league as they turn their attention to the African Champions League.

They host Ivorian club Asec Mimosas on Tuesday in a crucial fixture that comes after both sides lost their opening Group A games.

Ahly regained the league title they lost to rivals Zamalek last season with a win at Ismaili on Sunday.

"Time will be found later to celebrate our league success," Ahly's football director Sayed Abdel Hafeez said.

"There are two more titles in our sights, the CAF Champions League and the Egypt Cup.

"It is our destiny to try and win every competition we are involved in."

Ahly have been African champions a record eight times, most recently in 2013 when they defeated South African opponents Orlando Pirates 3:1 over two legs.

ASEC can boast of just one Champions League title, beating Zimbabwe's Dynamos 4:2 overall in 1998.

A brace from Ghanaian John Antwi could not prevent Ahly losing 3:2 away to Zesco United of Zambia earlier this month.

While ASEC lost 1:0 at home to Wydad Casablanca of Morocco, who eliminated defending champions TP Mazembe of the DR Congo.

Wydad host Zesco on Wednesday in a match that is set to finish around midnight owing to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, during which eating and drinking is forbidden from dawn to dusk.

Footballers can be excused, but most observe the fast, leading to late kick-offs of CAF matches in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt.

Zesco have been the surprise side of the 2016 competition, winning five of six qualifiers before a Cletus Chama brace helped upset Ahly.

Chama and DR Congo-born Idris Mbombo have scored four continental goals each while Wydad sharpshooter Reda Hajhouj has notched six.

The top-scorer so far this season is Mfon Udoh of Nigerian club Enyimba, who are in South Africa to face Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday.

It is the only Group B fixture this week after Algerian side Entente Setif were disqualified last week due to crowd problems.

Sundowns won 2:0 at Setif only for the match to be declared "null and void" because of a pitch invasion by fans.

The South African champions will be without their captain Ramahlwe Mphhahlele after he signed for their local rivals Kaizer Chiefs on Monday.

Enyimba were surprise 1:0 losers at home to Zamalek of Egypt, who have a rest day for this round of matches.
