ASEC Mimosas has announced a postponement in the start of their training preparations for the CAF Confederation Cup, citing their exemption from the competition’s initial preliminary round. The Ivorian club conveyed this decision through an official press release on Monday, July 15, 2024.
Initially scheduled to commence on Monday, July 15, the team’s training camp launch has been rescheduled to a later date, as disclosed by the club’s communication department via their social media platforms earlier this week.
The rationale behind this delay, as outlined in the press release, is to afford the players an extended recovery period, ensuring they are in optimal condition for the upcoming challenges. The exact resumption date will be communicated subsequently.
Having concluded the previous season with a commendable performance in the African Champions League, where they reached the quarter-finals, ASEC Mimosas also secured a 4th place finish in the Ligue 1 championship and were finalists in the National Cup.
These achievements underline their competitive prowess and set the stage for their upcoming campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Exempted from the first round of preliminaries in the Confederation Cup, ASEC Mimosas now await their opponent for the second round.
The prospective challengers will emerge from the match between ASCK of Togo and AS FAN. This strategic exemption allows the Mimosas ample time to strategize and prepare meticulously for their next continental challenge.
Coach Julien Chevalier and his team are poised to capitalize on their recent successes and leverage their experience in continental competitions to advance further in the CAF Confederation Cup.
As they recalibrate their training schedule in light of the postponement, ASEC Mimosas remains focused on maintaining their competitive edge and achieving their aspirations in the upcoming football season.
