The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has informed the Yanga club that the first round match for the ticket to the group stage of the African Champions League against El Merrikh will be played at the Pele Stadium in Rwanda
The game is scheduled to be played on September 16 and the second leg will be played in Dar es Salaam on September 29
Initially there was information that El Merrikh requested to change the stadium to take the game to Morocco, but it is clear that these requests have hit a rock
It is now official on September 16 that the champions of Mainland Tanzania will be in Rwanda in a game that will undoubtedly receive great support from the people of Rwanda
Yanga is very popular in Rwanda due to the fact that it has recruited talented players from Rwanda, including Haruna Niyonzima, the former captain of the Rwandan national team
