Asante Kotoko have been drawn in Group C of the CAF Confederation Cup competition alongside Zesco United, Nkana FC from Zambia and Sudanese side  Al Hilal.

The Ghanaian side confirmed their qualification to the group of the continent’s second most prestigious club competition after beating Cameroonian side Coton Sport 5-3 over two legs.

The Porcupine Warriors will begin their campaign against Al Hilal on February 3 before hosting Zesco in Kumasi on February 13.

They will then travel to Zambia to play Nkana on February 24 to complete the first round of the matches.

The next round will see Kotoko host Nkana on March 3 before hosting AL Hilal Kumasi seven days later before playing Zesco United away in their last group match.

The last time Kotoko played in the group stage of the competition was in 2008 after finishing as runners up in the maiden edition in 2004.
