Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko will lock horns with Nigeria Premier League side Kano Pillars in the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.

The first leg of the tie will take place in Kano with the return leg set for Kumasi.

The Porcupine Warriors earned the right to participate in the continent’s biggest club tourney after winning the Special Competition Tier 1 championship.

Their opponents, Kano, on the other hand, finished as in the Nigeria Premier League last season.
