Buoyed by their 4-0 first-leg win in Madagascar, Young Africans host CFFA this Wednesday in Dar es Salaam to seal their ticket for the CAF Champions League group stage, ahead of the 28 October draw.
Young Africans SC go into the second leg with a commanding lead. The Tanzanian club welcome Malagasy side CFFA this Wednesday, 21 October 2026 at 16:00 GMT (18:00 local time), at the KMC Complex Mwenge in Dar es Salaam, for the second leg of the CAF Champions League second preliminary round, according to Sport News Africa.
In the first leg on 17 October, the Tanzanians won 4-0 on Malagasy soil. A four-goal away advantage that puts head coach Miguel Gamondi’s side in an almost certain position to confirm their ticket for the group stage, according to the same source.
A four-goal cushion
The 17 October scoreline changed the complexion of the tie. By winning 4-0 in Madagascar, Young Africans took a huge step before hosting the return leg. The Dar es Salaam club therefore go into the second leg with a comfortable margin.
For CFFA, the task is considerable: they will have to overturn a four-goal deficit at the KMC Complex Mwenge. The Tanzanians, for their part, will need to confirm that advantage.
Gamondi’s men up front
Miguel Gamondi’s squad includes striker Prince Dube. In the first leg, the Tanzanians scored four goals on Malagasy turf, according to Sport News Africa.
This second leg comes amid a rivalry with Simba SC, Young Africans’ great rivals, who are also involved in these qualifiers against 15 de Agosto, according to Flashscore.
Cairo in their sights
The winner of this tie will join the pot for the draw of the continent’s 16 best teams, the CAF specifies.
The official draw for the group stage of the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup is scheduled for 28 October in Cairo, according to Soccer Laduma. For Young Africans, the week therefore looks decisive: one last effort against CFFA, then the discovery of their opponents.
Financially, the CAF says it has mobilised more than 48 million dollars per season to support clubs involved in the interclub competitions, according to CAF Online.
