CAF Confed Cup: Kotoko handed tricky draw

Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko have drawn Al Hilal and Zambian duo Zesco United and Nkana FC in Group C of the 2018/2019 CAF Confederation Cup

The Porcupine Warriors qualified for the Group stage for the first time in 11 years on Sunday after eliminating Cameroonian side Coton Sport 5-3 on aggregate.

Kotoko will start their campaign with a trip to Sudanese side Al Hilal on 3 February 2019.

This means the Porcupine Warriors will be making two trips to Zambia to play Zesco United at the Levy Mwanawasa in Ndola and Nkana FC who play at the Nkana Stadium in Kitwe.

Three Moroccan sides Hassania Agadir, RS Berkane and defending champions Raja CA were drawn in Group A alongside Congolese champions Otoho d'Oyo.
