| Tšoanelo Koetle and co are heading to Burundi |
Lioli will play
Burundi champions Vital’O FC in the preliminary round of the 2016 CAF Champions
League. The draw for Africa’s premier club competition was made yesterday.
If Lioli progress past
Vital’O they will face Nigeria champions Enyimba or Vipers of Uganda in the
first round.
Lioli and Vital’O will face
off in February next year.
The first leg of the
clash has been set for February 12, 13, or 14 with the second leg scheduled for
February 26, 27 or 28
Lioli will be looking
to become the first Lesotho team to progress past the preliminary stage since LDF
beat Botswana’s Mogoditshane Fighters in 2002.
In total, there have been
just five preliminary stage wins for Lesotho in the CAF Champions League. In 1997 Rovers beat
Malawi’s MTL Wanderers before LDF defeated Swaziland’s Mbabane Swallows,
Botswana’s FC Notwane and Madagascar’s AS Fortior in 1998, 1999 and 2000
respectively.
Lesotho’s last aggregate victory in the tournament came in 2002 when LDF beat Fighters in the preliminary stage.
