Confederation of African Football has released the first round fixtures for the 56th edition of 2019–20 Total CAF Champions League. This comes after the completion of CAF Champions League preliminary round on Sunday.
The tournament is now headed to the next round with the first leg slated for 13-14 September 2019.
Here is the fixture;
Kenyan Premier League giants Gor Mahia will have to go past the Algiers-based USM Alger to book a slot in the group stage that will begin on 29 November.
Last season, USM Alger and Gor Mahia were seeded in Group D in the Confederation Cup where they drew 0-0 at Moi Sports Centre, Kasarani before K’Ogalo lost 2-1 at 5th July Stadium in Algiers, Algeria.
Gor fans have given mixed reactions ahead of their encounter with the North African side for fear of the repeat of last year’s result.
