The Charles Konan Banny Stadium in Yamoussoukro will be the stage for an exciting confrontation this Saturday at 4:00 PM GMT, as AFAD-Plateau prepares to host ASC Kara. This duel holds crucial importance as the winner will secure their ticket to the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
Separated by a disappointing goalless draw (0-0) last week, ASC Kara and AFAD meet again this Saturday in Yamoussoukro for the second leg of the preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup. Another draw with goals would directly secure the Togolese team’s place in the next round. However, the home team must emerge victorious to overcome this first obstacle.
For the Ivorians, this return match is a final they truly cannot afford to lose. Captain Guéi Sémélo and his teammates landed in Yamoussoukro a few hours before kick-off, determined to battle it out. Romaric N’Dri Koffi, the AFAD coach, maintained confidence in the 18 players who accompanied him to the Togolese capital during the first encounter.
It is worth noting that the young winger Bolou Bi Tizié Hermann, returning after a period of recovery, has been added to the list. There are therefore nineteen (19) players who will defend the club’s colors, led by Jacques Anouma, former president of the Ivorian Football Federation.
