| Real de Banjul at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, |
Real de Banjul left the country for Morocco on Wednesday
morning for the first leg tie of the preliminary round schedule for Friday 15th
with the match set to kick-off at 19:00 GMT.
This will be Real’s third appearance in the CAF Champions
League qualifiers with their last appearance coming in 2001 when they exited in
the first round. FUS de Rabat on the other hand, has never participated in the
Champions League qualifiers and this will thus be their first appearance in the
competition.
They have meanwhile participated twice in the CAF
Confederation Cup and were the winners of the competition in 2010 where they
edged Tunisian club CS Sfaxien 3-2 on aggregate.
Qualification ties of the Champions league are decided over
two legs, with aggregate goals used to determine the winner. If the sides are
level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule is applied, and if
still level, the tie proceeds directly to a penalty shootout (no extra time is
played).
The team that makes it past this stage will meet either
Union Sportive de Douala of Cameroon or Liberia Ship Corporate Registry FC in
the first round of the qualifiers.
