The draw, which was held in Qatar capital Doha, placed Zamalek in Pool A of the tournament.

The Cairo giants qualified for the gigantic event, which is back on the international volleyball calendar after a 17-year absence, after winning the African Club Championship at the expense of arch-rivals Ahli.

Pool B will feature Iran's Payakan, Poland's PGE Skra Belchatow, hosts Qatar's Al Arabi Doha and a South American team who is yet to be determined.

The tournament will run from November 3-8.
