CAF Confederations Cup:
First Preliminary Round
16 -August- 2024
Kitara FC vs Al Hilal SC Benghazi
8 PM EAT
Benina Martyrs Stadium
Kitara will be hoping to make a good start in their first preliminary round of the CAF Confederations Cup when they play Libya’s Al Hilal SC Benghazi tonight at Benina Martyrs stadium.
The Royals who host the first leg away in Benghazi know that only the best will be good enough if they are to have a chance of making it past this round where they will face Al Masry from Egypt.
” We have prepared ourselves well for this match and we are going to put up a good performance. Yes, we are here in Benghazi away from our fans but that won’t affect our focus because we’ve already motivated ourselves.”
“Our fans will be behind us back at home and we hope to give our best and get good results,” Denis Omedi said.
The Brian Ssenyondo coached side has played five competitive games in the past few weeks which have helped shape the squad for tonight’s task.
They played two international friendly games against Ethiopia’s Mechal Sports Club in Addis Ababa and Tusker FC from Kenya as well as the FUFA Super 8 tournament against KCCA FC and BUL FC.
Despite being their first time in the CAF interclub competition, Ssenyondo is confident his side will perform well.
“There is always a first experience for everything and here we are, very excited and ready to compete. We have tested players who have played for the national team at different levels, others have been at this competition before so we trust they will put up a good show.”
Team news:
The technical team will have a selection headache as all players are healthy and available for selection.
Note:
This game will be broadcast live at 8 pm EAT on FUFA TV.
