Caf CL: RC Kadiogo vs Kotoko to be played in Cote d’Ivoire

Rail Club du Kadiogo will host their 2022/23 Caf Champions League preliminary round first-leg tie against Asante Kotoko in Cote d’Ivoire.

The Ouagadougou-based Burkinabé league champions currently are unable to host continental matches on home-soil as current facilities are being renovated to meet the required standards set by the Confederation of African Football (Caf).

As a result, Kadiogo – as well as AS Douanes who will also be representing Burkina in the Caf Confederation Cup – have adopted the new 20,000-capacity Stade de Yamoussoukro which was commissioned by close-border neighbours Cote d’Ivoire in June as home grounds.

The Falcons will thus host the Porcupine Warriors at Stade de Yamoussoukro on Friday, September 9, 2022. Kickoff is 16:00 GMT.

AS Douanes also host AS Real de Bamako at the same venue two days later. The winner on aggregate will advance to face Ghana’s Hearts of Oak in the second preliminary round of the 2022/23 Caf Confederation Cup.
