Travis Mutyaba will have a chance to have a test of CAF Confederation Cup knockout football as his side Zamalek await the Quarterfinals draw.
Zamalek was meant to face off against Guinea’s Academie SOAR on Sunday in the last group game, but the match was canceled due to the Guinean team’s failure to arrive in Cairo on time.
This match would have been a formality for The White Knights, which has already qualified for the knockout rounds by sitting at the top of the group, while the Guinean team currently stands in last place.
SOAR earlier said that they were actively exploring options to postpone their upcoming match against Zamalek in the final round of the African Confederation Cup due to travel challenges.
Mutyaba earlier made his CAF Confederation Cup with Zamalek when he came on in the 63rd minute for Youssef Obama against Libya’s Abu Salim in Annaba, Algeria.
