Kotoko's Champions League tie postponed

ACCRA, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Two-times African champions Asante Kotoko have had their opening match in this year's African Champions League postponed until next weekend, the Confederation of African Football said.

Kotoko's opponents Gambia Port Authority sought a postponement because two of their players are competing with Gambia's under-20 side at the African youth championships in the Congo.

Gambia on Thursday qualified to play in the World Under-20 Cup in Canada later this year.

Kotoko will now host Port Authority in Obuasi on Feb. 3 with the return in the Gambian capital Banjul on Feb. 11.
