Al Hilal Benghazi head coach Mohamed Ouda has admitted they are half-prepared to face Kakamega Homeboyz in the first preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup at Nyayo Stadium on Saturday.

The Libyan outfit landed in Kenya on Wednesday ahead of the first meeting between the two sides but coach Ouda expressed his dissatisfaction with their preparations for the contest.

“I must confess we have only been together as a team for the last 10 days, we commenced training for this fixture just 10 days ago and it is not the best way to approach such a crucial fixture,” said Ouda.

Ouda further confirmed his team was yet to play even a single friendly to gauge their preparedness for the clash. “It is unfortunate we have not played any significant friendly, I have not gauged my players well, we just regrouped the other day, we are running against time to face Homeboyz and I hope in the future our football bosses back home will give early preparations a head start to such important games.”

Meanwhile, Homeboyz, who will be taking part in CAF inter-club competitions for the first time in history, have confirmed gate charges for the fixture with those accessing the VIP section set to pay Ksh500, while those on the terraces will pay Ksh200.

A statement from the club confirmed: “Ahead of Saturday’s Confederation Cup match against Al Hilal Benghazi, tickets will go for Ksh500 VIP and Ksh 200 regular, while the selling points will be at Riadha House and Nyayo Stadium Police Post Gate.”

After the first leg, Homeboyz will head to Libya to play the second leg of the first preliminary round scheduled for Sunday, August 27. The winner on aggregate after both legs will advance to the second preliminary round and face Rayon Sport of Rwanda.
