ASEC Mimosas face Maghreb de Fes in CAF Champions League first leg

ASEC Mimosas travel to Morocco on Sunday, 18 October 2026 to face Maghreb de Fes (MAS) in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:00 GMT at Stade d’Honneur de Meknes.

Captain Charles Folly Ayayi will be expected to use his experience in goal as ASEC attempt to withstand the Moroccan side’s attacking threat. The Ivorian club will also look to Romaric Amoussou to provide an outlet in attack.

The Beninese winger’s pace and ability in one-on-one situations could be particularly important to the Yellow and Blacks, especially when they look to break quickly.

In midfield, Guei Semelo is set to have a key role in maintaining the team’s balance and disrupting the opposition’s play. His knowledge of Moroccan football, gained during his time in Botola according to information provided, could prove valuable in the tie.

ASEC Mimosas will need defensive solidity and greater efficiency when attacking if they are to secure a positive result away from home. The return leg is scheduled to take place in Abidjan on 25 October.
