2017 Gotv Champions AFC Leopards have been dumped out of the 2018 Confederation of African Football (CAF) Confederations Cup tournament.
Leopards went out of the tournament after a 0-0 draw with home side Fosa Juniors of Madagascar in the preliminary round seconded leg match played in Madagascar on Wednesday, February 21, 2018.
Ingwe as AFC Leopards is famously known was bundled due to away goals rule, after the two teams drew 1-1 in the first leg match played at the Kakamega’s Bukhungu Stadium almost two weeks ago.
Ingwe needed a win or a high scoring draw to advance, but that was not to be in Madagascar.
AFC Leopards got a spot in the CAF confederations Cup tournament by virtue of winning the GOTV shield last year.
The team will now concentrate on defending the GOTV Crown and having a fruitful 2018 Kenya Premier League (KPL) campaign.
The team under former Sofapaka and Ulinzi Stars Coach Robert ‘The Lion’ Matano has played a single match in the league this season.
The team drew 1-1 against Sammy Omollo ‘Pamzo’ led Posta Rangers on the 3rd of this month.AFC Leopards’ next league encounter is against Ulinzi Stars. The match will be played on Sunday.
