FOOTBALL CAF CL: Vipers learn road to group stages

Allan Damba 13:10 - 25.07.2023

For the second successive year, Uganda will have Vipers SC as their representative in the 2023/24 CAF Champions League, following their league triumph in the preceding season.

The Venoms will be keen on making the group stages for another year running, but will first, have to deal with Botswana outfit Jwaneng Galaxy in the first preliminary round.

Should they be victorious at this level, they will meet stalwart opposition from one of Comoros' Djabal FC or South Africa's Orlando Pirates, in the second preliminary stage, to hit the group stages.

Against Jwaneng Galaxy, Vipers will be away between August 18th, 19th or 20th, before the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende bout on one of 25th, 26th or 27th August.

About Jwaneng Galaxy

The team emerged champions in the 2022/23 Botswana Premier League after accumulating 72 points, eight ahead of the nearest rival Gaborone United.

Jwaneng Galaxy was founded in 2015 after the merging of Juaneng Cornets and Debswana Youngsters.

They have won the Botswana Premier League twice in their young history.

Like Vipers, they also qualified to the CAF Champions League for the first time in history in the 2021/22 campaign.

Currently under Zambian coach Mike Sithole, Jwaneng Galaxy hosts their games at the 2000 capacity Galaxy Stadium.
