Team captain Julius Poloto, and defenders Peter Magambo and Philbert Obenchan are some of the players to have played for KCCA on the continent before, and their experience will come in handy.

KCCA FC head coach Sergio Traguil has named his team to face Libya’s Abu Salim in the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup this weekend.

The Kasasiro Boys will face off with Abu Salim in the first leg of the second preliminary round on Sunday, September 17, at the Stade Olympique de Rades in Tunisia.

The 20-player squad named features some of Traguil’s new signings and seasoned campaigners who were at the club’s last appearance on the continent.

Youngsters Anthony Emojong and Abubakar Mayanja, promoted from the club academy, are in the squad and will be looking to make their debut on the big stage.

Ettiene Katenga, Joao Gabriel, Bruno Adilson, Emilson Gonzaga and Cungulo Da Silva Gui have all been selected by Traguil to make the trip.

Team captain Julius Poloto, and defenders Peter Magambo and Filbert Obenchan are some of the players to have played for KCCA on the continent before, and their experience will come in handy.

KCCA received a bye from CAF and did not feature in the first preliminary round due to their past performances in CAF competitions in 2017 and 2018.

The club will depart for Tunisia on Thursday evening aboard Fly Emirates.
