CAF CC: Asante Kotoko Seeded In Pot 1

Asante Kotoko have been seeded in Pot A ahead of the CAF Confederation Cup draw on Wednesday.

The Porcupine Warriors dropped from the CAF Champions League to the Confederations Cup after failing to make the group phase.

Per their pedigree in Africa, they have been seeded which means they will avoid powerhouses such Enyimba, Horoya, Zamalek/Gen. Foot, etc.

Asante Kotoko will meet one of the clubs that have been placed in pot D namely El Nasr (LBY) Elec Sport (CHA), Fosa Juniors (MAD), Green Eagles (ZAM), FC Nouadhibou (MTN), Bandari FC (KEN),

Bidvest Wits (RSA), DC Motema Pembe (RDC), ESAE FC (BEN) and FC San Pedro (CIV)

Below is the draw procedure for the CAF Confederation Cup

teams of CL (POT A) and the non-seeded teams of CC (POT D)
