The CAF Confederation Cup is entering its decisive phase and newly crowned Moroccan champions Renaissance Sportive de Berkane, true to its ambition and growing stature on the continental stage, is preparing to challenge Ivorian giants ASEC Mimosas in a summit-level duel.

Act I will be played this Wednesday in Abidjan, on the pitch of the legendary Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny. A high-intensity encounter where Tunisian coach Moine Chaâbani's men intend to make their mark in the first leg.

The Orange Club delegation set foot in Côte d'Ivoire this Monday evening, in the economic capital of Abidjan, aboard a specially chartered flight. This strategic decision aims to avoid overworking the players at this crucial stage of the competition. Between effort management, the tropical climate and jet lag, every last detail has been carefully considered by the Moroccan club's technical and administrative staff.

In accordance with the preparation program, Issoufou Dayo's teammates will only play one training session, scheduled for Tuesday on the pitch at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny, the venue for the first leg. This tactical session is intended to allow the players to get their bearings, with the first half open to the press for the first fifteen minutes, in accordance with CAF regulations.
