The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has rescheduled the 2022/23 CAF Champions League first preliminary round fixture between Burkinabe side R.C Kadiogo and Asante Kotoko.
The first leg encounter will now be played on Monday, September 12, 2022, at the Friendship Stadium in Cotonou, Benin.
The game was initially scheduled to take place at the Stade de Yamoussoukro in Ivory Coast on Friday, September 9. Ivorian authorities say they have planned renovation works at the venue after the 2022 WAFU B CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers.
Burkinabe teams cannot play international games on home soil because facilities in the country do not meet the standards set by CAF.
