Former African champions Raja Casablanca were confirmed as Kaizer Chiefs' opponents in the next round of the African Champions League as Amakhosi consider taking the first leg of the second-round tie to Durban.

Raja clinched a 6-2 aggregate triumph over Diables Noirs of Congo in Brazzaville late on Sunday to set up the high-profile clash later this month.

The Moroccan club were comfortably set after winning in the first leg 4-0 .

Chiefs host the first leg against Raja on March 14 and are considering taking the game to the Moses Mabhida Stadium after consistently drawing poor crowds at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

A decision will be made by Chiefs' management this week.

The second leg is in Casablanca on the first weekend of April.

Mamelodi Sundowns will face Democratic Republic of Congo's TP Mazembe.
