In the Confederation Cup, notable matchups include Raja Casablanca of Morocco traveling to Nigeria to face El Kanemi Warriors, and AS FAR Rabat playing FC Korhogo in Côte d'Ivoire. In the Champions League, Madagascar’s CFFA is set to face Tanzania’s Young Africans SC, with both legs scheduled to take place at the Azam Complex Stadium in Dar es-Salaam. Al Ahly has successfully advanced to the group stage following a 4-0 victory over Uganda’s Kitara FC in the second leg of the Round of 32 at Cairo International Stadium. This result secured a 6-1 aggregate win for the Egyptian side, building on their 2-1 first-leg advantage in Uganda. Hussein El Shahat scored twice, with Mohamed Magdi Afsha and Taher Mohamed Taher each contributing one goal. The victory marks a significant recovery for Al Ahly amidst recent domestic struggles. Al Ahly head coach Hussein Ammoute noted that while the team faced challenges, the timing of the opening goal was crucial for maintaining control. Kitara’s continental campaign ended with the defeat. Despite a performance from goalkeeper Joel Mutakubwa, the Ugandan side conceded two goals in each half under Al Ahly’s offensive pressure. Prior to this match, Al Ahly had faced roster challenges, including the exclusion of Emam Ashour and Mohamed Hany for technical reasons, and medical absences for Yasser Ibrahim, Karim El Debess, and Aktai Abdullah. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-23: Al Ahly defeats Kitara 4-0 to advance in CAF Confederation Cup Al Ahly defeated Kitara 4-0 in Cairo to win 6-1 on aggregate, securing qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup group stage. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/al-ahly-faces-kitara-in-caf-confederation-cup-second-leg ### 2026-10-18: Horoya AC defeats Al Merreikh 1-0 in CAF Champions League Horoya AC defeated Al Merreikh 1-0 in the first leg of the CAF Champions League second preliminary round in Conakry, giving the Guinean club a narrow advantage for the return match. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/horoya-ac-defeats-al-merreikh-1-0-in-caf-champions-league ### 2026-10-18: CAF Interclub Competitions: Mixed Results in Preliminary Rounds African clubs face varying fortunes in CAF preliminary rounds: Colombe Sportive takes a lead over Teungueth FC, Maniema Union dominates Kabuscorp, and USM Alger advances via opponent withdrawal. 19 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/primeiro-do-agosto-defeats-daring-club-virunga-2-1 ### 2026-10-17: Al Ahly defeats Kitara 2-1 in CAF Confederation Cup first leg Al Ahly defeated Kitara FC 2-1 in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup round of 32, overcoming an early deficit with goals from Omar El Soapy and a penalty by Ahmed Sayed Zizo. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/al-ahly-faces-kitara-fc-in-caf-confederation-cup-opener ### 2026-10-16: CAF Continental Competitions: Key Preliminary Round Matches Underway African club competitions enter critical second preliminary rounds, featuring Al Ahly's narrow win over Kitara and The Panthers' withdrawal from the CAF Confederation Cup due to financial issues. 30 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tp-mazembe-faces-club-africain-in-caf-champions-league-qualifier ### 2026-10-16: Colombe Sportive faces Teungueth FC in CAF Champions League Cameroon's Colombe Sportive travels to Dakar to face Teungueth FC in the CAF Champions League second preliminary round. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/colombe-sportive-faces-teungueth-fc-in-caf-champions-league ### 2026-10-13: CAF continental club competitions schedule second preliminary round The second preliminary rounds of the CAF Confederation Cup and CAF Champions League begin October 16, 2026, featuring matchups such as Al Ahly vs. Kitara FC and CFFA vs. Young Africans SC. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/caf-continental-club-competitions-schedule-second-preliminary-round --- Cite as: CAF continental club competition scheduling.
