The draw for the additional
second preliminary round of the 2022-2023 TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup
took place on Tuesday in Cairo, Egypt bringing interesting match-up between
Young Africans of Tanzania and Club Africain of Tunisia.Club Africain of Tunisia
A round that promises sparks
with high-flying matches that will certainly stir up enthusiasm on the
continent.
Firstly, a Moroccan-Tunisian
clash between defending champions RS Berkane and US Monastir. Secondly, TP
Mazembe who have been relegated to the CAF Confederation Cup, will face Royal
AM FC of South Africa. The other South African club, Marumo Gallants, will lock
horns with Al Ahli Tripoli of Libya.
One thing is certain, an
Ivorian team will be in the group stage as the draw also features an Ivorian
derby between ASEC Mimosas and SC Gagnoa. The task will be a daunting one for
Togo's ASKO who will meet three-time winners CS Sfaxien of Tunisia.
There could well be a
Congolese duel in this round with FC St Eloi Lupopo facing the winner of the AS
Vita Club/RC Kadiogo. It is worth noting the clash between Primeiro de Agosto
of Angola and AS Real Bamako of Mali, and the one featuring Cape Town City and
USM Alger.
The first leg will be played
on 2 November, while the second leg is scheduled for 9 November. At stake are
