Kitara Football Club will discover their opponents for the CAF Confederation Cup on 6th August 2026 at 2pm, when CAF conducts the draws for the preliminary rounds of its Interclub competition.
The draw, set to take place at CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, will also mark the official start of the 2026/27 CAF Interclub club calendar.
USM Alger of Algeria enter the new season as reigning champions, having edged past Egypt’s Zamalek 8-7 on penalties after the two sides could not be separated over two legs, finishing 1-1 on aggregate.
CAF has already released a schedule for the early stages of the competition. The first legs of the preliminary round are slated for 4th to 6th September 2026, with return legs following a week later, from 11th to 13th September.
Should Kitara come through that tie, they would advance to the second preliminary round, where the first leg is scheduled for 16th to 18th October, with the return leg set for 23rd to 25th October 2026.
This will be Kitara’s second appearance in the competition. The Royals go in with renewed determination after their debut campaign in 2024 ended early, when they were knocked out in the first round by Libyan side Al Hilal Benghazi.
Kitara will host their Confederation Cup fixtures at the Hoima City Stadium in Mparo, Hoima City.
