Kaizer Chiefs will face Zambian outfit Red Arrows in the Second Preliminary Round fixtures of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Confederation Cup.
Chiefs were exempted from the first preliminary round matches alongside Egyptian giants Al Ahly and Raja Casablanca of Morocco.
Arrows cruised past Madagascar’s FC Rouge, winning the first-round tie 4-0 on aggregate. They will now face Chiefs in the second preliminary round who failed to make it past the group stages last season.
The first legs of the second preliminary round are scheduled for 16–18 October, with the return matches set for 23–25 October. The aggregate winners will secure their places in the group stages of their respective competitions.
Meanwhile reigning African champions Mamelodi Sundowns will begin their continental campaign against Angolan side Wiliete SC. Wiliete swept aside Seychelles outfit Foresters FC 5-0 on aggregate to secure their place in the second preliminary round.
Elsewhere Milford FC continued their impressive start in the Betway Premiership by crushing 10-man Richards Bay 5-1 at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium, Siwelele FC and Golden Arrows played to a hard-fought 1-1 draw in their Betway Premiership meeting at the Free State Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
