Power Dynamos and F.C. MUZA, Zambia’s representatives to the 2023–24 CAF competition’s champions league and confederations cup, have learned who they will face in the preliminary round.
The only team from Zambia to win a major CAF competition in 1990, Power Dynamos, will play Namibian team African Stars in the preliminary round.
The winner will play Tanzanian powerhouse Simba in the second round, which begins between August 18 and August 20, with the second leg matches scheduled for a week later.
The fact that Power Dynamos will play the second leg match at home should offer them a minor advantage as they look to repeat their 1990 CAF competition winning feat.
In the meantime, F.C. MUZA, who qualified for the competition for the first time in their history, will face Cano Sports of Equatorial Guinea in the preliminary round of the CAF Confederations Cup.
