Simba SC to face Zambia’s Red Arrows in TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup

Tanzanian giants Simba SC have been drawn to face Red Arrow FC (Zambia) in additional second preliminary round of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup.

Simba who failed to make it to the group stage of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League will now have to be at their best when they host Red Arrows on November 28^th before the return leg is played on December 5^th.

Simba SC will start a new chapter following the departure of head coach Didier Gomes Da Rosa yesterday. The Frenchman stepped down after falling the defeat to the Botswana team on Sunday.

Another CECAFA based team Tusker FC (Kenya) will face an acid test against CS Sfaxien (Tunisia). The Kenyan Premier League champions were knocked out of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League after a 5-0 aggregate loss to Egyptian champions Zamalek.

Another Kenyan side Gor Mahia Fc will face AS Otoho (Congo), while Rwanda Premier League champions APR FC battle RS Berkane (Morocco).

The winner over two legs will qualify for the group stage of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup.
