The FUS will cross swords this Saturday from 10 p.m. at the Moulay Abdellah Complex in Rabat with its Tunisian counterpart from Bizerte for the first day of the group stage (group B) of the CAF Confederation Cup.

A match that the Fussistes are required to negotiate well in order to start the competition on the right foot. The task is far from being a simple sinecure against an opponent who has gained experience on the continental scene. During this meeting, which will be whistled by a Gabonese refereeing trio, led by Eric Otogo, the FUS will have to do without four key elements, namely Traouré, Ndame, Grissi and Batna, all suspended. More trouble for coach Jamal Sellami, for whom this meeting will be the official resumption of his protégés after the summer break.

Despite these absences, Jamal Sellami says he is confident about the outcome of this explanation, just like his protégés who show unwavering determination, having eyes only for the first three points of victory likely to place the team in the pole position.

A Maghreb derby that promises to be fiercely contested and which should undoubtedly be decided on small details. The FUS attackers are ordered to seize the slightest opportunity to get rid of the CAB, a team that will certainly not fail to sell its scalp dearly. This meeting should in principle see the return of the Moroccan international, Brahim El Bahri, who is returning from an injury that required surgery. For this same group, the Algerian team of Entente de Sétif was to set the tone on Friday against TP Mazembe of the DR Congo. As for group A, the two meetings on the agenda are scheduled for Sunday. Thus, the tournament's underdog, Saint-George of Ethiopia, will host the Stade Malien, while the other explanation will be one hundred percent Tunisian between CS Sfaxien and Etoile du Sahel. Furthermore, the African Champions League will also resume service with the quarter-final round played under the group format. As for group A, the Cairo derby between Zamalek and Al Ahly has been postponed to next Wednesday at El Gouna stadium in the Egyptian tourist resort of Hurghada. This confrontation will be played behind closed doors due to the situation of instability that reigns in this country. The ball for this group will be opened today by the match that will pit the South Africans of Orlando Pirates against the Congolese of AC Léopards. As for group B, only one game is scheduled, the one that will pit the team of Recreativo Libolo of Angola against Espérance de Tunis. The second match that was to pit the Cameroonians of Coton Sport de Garoua against the Ivorians of Séwé San Pedro has been adjourned. Except that this postponement could lead to a disqualification of Coton Sport in case FIFA maintains the suspension of the Cameroonian Federation due to government interference.
