KCCA FC Handed a tricky CAF Confederation Cup Draw

The only Ugandan CAF competitions club representative, KCCA FC has been handed a tricky draw in the group stages of the CAF confederation on Wednesday in Cairo Egypt.

Mike Mutebi will have a score to settle with two clubs from Northern Africa in group A, Tunisian side Club Africain, Nigeria’s Rivers United and Moroccan favorite FUS Rabat that thumped SC Villa in the group qualification round of last year’s same competitions at a 7-1 aggregate win.
