KCCA FC has named a strong squad of twenty players who will travel to Tunisia for the first leg of the second preliminary game for CAF Confederation Cup against Libya’s Abu Salim.
The game will be played on Sunday 17th September in Tunisia at Stade Olympique de Rades (1600 Tunisia Time | 1800 EAT) while the return leg will be played three days days later, on Saturday 30th September at St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende (1600 EAT).
KCCA FC received a bye from CAF and did not feature in the first preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup. This was because of the past impressive performances for KCCA FC in CAF competitions in 2017 and 2018, Confederation Cup and Champions League group stage games, respectively.
