Fresh from retaining their Kenyan Premier League title Tusker FC will be missing out to represent the country at the Caf Champions League.
Today, CAF released the 2022/2023 fixtures in Rabat, Morocco after Fifa suspended Kenya after accusing the government of expelling the duly elected Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and replacing it with the Transition Committee.
The axe also fell on Kenya Women’s Premier League (KWPL) champions, Vihiga Queens, who were omitted from the Caf Women Champions League – Cecafa zone qualifiers draw.
The two top-flight sides are casualties of an existing stand-off between Kenya and the world football governing body, Fifa.
Caf also specified that the 12 highest ranked national associations were allowed to register two teams.
The countries include Algeria, Angola, DR Congo, Egypt, Guinea, Libya, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, and Tunisia.
The Caf Inter-club competitions Organising Committee said it will extend the five substitutions rule for the 2022/23 interclub season.
The registration period for players eligible in the preliminary rounds closes on August 15.
The Caf Inter-club Competitions Committee further provided clarity on special conditions of engagement for Member Associations that did not complete their national competitions.
“MAs that could not complete the season 2021/2022 and considered that this season is cancelled and not counted, the engaged teams in the next CAF Champions League.”
