CO Korhogo face major AS FAR Rabat test in CAF Confederation Cup

CO Korhogo will host AS FAR Rabat on Saturday, 17 October 2026, in the first leg of their CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round tie. The match will be played at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium in Korhogo, with kick-off scheduled for 16:00 GMT.

The Ivorian club face a demanding challenge against a Moroccan side with extensive experience of continental competition. CO Korhogo will be aiming to secure a positive result at home before travelling to Morocco for the return fixture.

A disciplined defensive display, collective effort and quick attacking transitions are expected to be central to the hosts’ approach. Playing in front of their home support, CO Korhogo will hope to make the most of the opening match and strengthen their hopes of progressing to the next stage.

Sylvain Gbohouo is among the players to watch. The experienced goalkeeper was part of the Cote d’Ivoire team that won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015.

In midfield, Missan Prince Israel, listed as an attacking midfielder in the club’s squad, could also have an important role in creating opportunities and directing the team’s offensive play.

CO Korhogo will need to take their chances against AS FAR Rabat if they are to approach the second leg in the strongest possible position.
