Gor will however need to be at their very best and hope for
nothing short of a miracle if they are to make it as one of the 16 teams that
will participate in the 24/25 continental campaign.
Al Ahly have won the last two Champions League titles and
will be seeking a third straight crown to add to their record 12 championships.
K’Ogalo already pocketed USD 50,000 (around 6.5 million) for making it to the Preliminary Stage of the CAF Champions League.
The amount that
started from the current 24/25 season was part of CAF’s new initiative aimed at
easing the traveling and logistical costs associated with playing in club
continental football.
The Leo Neivaa-currently coached side got off their campaign
with an emphatic 5-2 aggregate win over South Sudan’s Al Merreikh Bentiu to set
up the tie against Al Ahly.
The first leg of the match is expected to take place at Nyayo National Stadium on 14 September with the return leg taking place a week later in Cairo.
