CAF Confederation Cup
Flambeau Du Centre, Young Africans SC face tricky tests
Two teams Flambeau Du Centre and Young Africans SC will this evening carry the CECAFA flag as they take to the field in the first leg of the additional second preliminary round of the 2022/2023 TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup.
It will be the reigning Tanzania Premier League champions Young Africans SC who will take to the pitch first against Club Africain (Tunisia) at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
After falling to Sudan’s Al Hilal in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League, the Young Africans’ coach Nasreddine Nabi is aware his team will need a win by a comfortable margin before traveling for the return leg next week.
“Players know the importance of the match and they are all aware of that. Our target is to reach in the last 16, that is the only way to restore back respect,” says Nabi.
The coach made it clear that Club Africain is an experienced team that should be treated seriously.
Burundi’s giants Flambeau Du Centre who are hosting their match in Tanzania will later this evening face DC Motema Pembe from DR Congo at the Azam Complex.
Flambeau Du Centre who were ejected by Egyptian champions Zamalek in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League will fancy their chances of going past this first hurdle.
