Zambian Champions Zesco United have gotten a fair draw in the CAF Champions League group stage.
The Ndola side will face Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia, Angola’s Primero de Augusto and Swazi side Mbabane Swallows in Group D.
Mbabane Swallows dumped Zanaco out of the competition via a 3-1 aggregate.
While Zanaco were swallowed by the Swazi side via a 3-1 aggregate, Zesco United did it in style with 2-1 away win in Abidjan against the famous Asec Mimosas having lost 1-0 at home.
In Group B, Zambian interest will be on TPÂ Mazembe.
Nathan Sinkala, Kabaso Chongo and Augustine Mulenga are all on the books of the Lubumbashi based side.
TP Mazembe will head to North Africa three times after they were drawn against a Moroccan side Hasssani di Jadidi and two Algerian sides Mouloudia club D’Algiers and E.S. Seftifienne.
Botswana side Township Rollers will face Cairo giants Al Ahly and Esperance from Tunisia. The fourth side in Group A is Kampala City Council Authority.
Rounding up the groups is in Group C where defending Champions Wydad Casablanca will face Mamelodi Sundowns. The other two sides in the group are Horoya of Guinea and AS Togo Port Lome.
Very fair draw, but ba Zesco dont underrate ba Mbabana Swallows. Paper Zesco and Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia are likely to qualify from this group
on paper I mean
I like it on paper is your wish. Small country as we look eSwatini but we shall emerge. Three full points we shall get from all home games then atleast a draw from outside. Mbabane Swallows respects all these giants they play against. We have already started with Zesco. Zesco will get ZERO points in their away game against Swallows in eSwatini.
Does that mean Zamfoot are yet to hear about Zanaco’s opponent. Come one. Update us fully.
Bosses am sure you have been busy making money…Zanaco was knocked out of the Champions League…they are now playing in the Confederation Cup and will now take on Raja Club Athletic playing at home in the first match…
Anyway, Zanaco will square up against Raja Casablanca. Hmm. Almost same style of play. How I wish Saith Sakala was part of Zanaco.
Maybe without Augustine MULENGA and saith sakala zanaco is back to it’s useless culture of early eliminations
Ba Zamfoot is Augustine in Congo Dr or in Sasafrika?
