Vipers SC will have to wait a little longer to know their CAF Champions League group stage opponents, after the continental footballing governing body postponed the draws.
16 teams, Vipers inclusive were bound to know their group placements today, Wednesday 16th, November 2022 but have now been pushed to a later (yet-to-be identified) date.
