FOOTBALL Official: Another Brazilian departs Vipers
It is worth noting that Tinga departs without having made an official appearance for the Kitende side, apart from participating in an international friendly against AS Kigali at Kitende over a month ago.
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.
