Kaizer Chiefs Face A Tough Route To The CCL Group Stage

Kaizer Chiefs Face A Tough Route To The CCL Group Stage

Tsepo Masilela

Kaizer Chiefs found out their first CAF Champions League opponents yesterday evening, and they may have to face some big teams if they're going to make it into the group stages of the competition.

The Amakhosi begin their CCL campaign on the weekend of February 12th against Comoran side, Volcan de Moroni, playing the first leg of the preliminary round away and the second leg at home in South Africa.

While that game is expected to be a relatively simple one for the Glamour Boys, should they win that tie then they are likely to meet up with former CCL champions, ASEC Mimosa, in the first round should the Ivorians beat whichever team from Chad that they face in the preliminaries (yet to be decided).

The second round, which is the final hurdle before the group stages, will see Chiefs take on Onze Créateurs from Mali, Libya's Ahli Tripoli or, more likely, Sudanese giants, Al Hilal Club.

This year is the Glamour Boys' third successive stint in Africa's highest continental club competition, and Steve Komphela will be eager to try and do what Stuart Baxter couldn't, and help guide the club into the group stages for the first time.

Chiefs were knocked out of the CCL last year by Moroccan side, Raja Casablanca, in the first round after beating Township Rollers in the preliminaries.
