Kotoko travel to Mauritania on November 27 for the first leg of the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League and the management of the club have reportedly presented a budget of $195,000 to the club's board for  the trip to face Nouadhibou.

The Porcupine Warriors want to fly from Ghana directly to Mauritania with a chartered Ghana Air-force plane instead of going with a commercial flight which will require the club making transit before reaching the North Western African country.

Kotoko will reportedly embark on the journey with a 30 man contingent for their trip to Mauritania.

The porcupine warriors are making preparations for the game which is scheduled to come off on Friday 27th November 2020 at the Stade de Municipal de Nouadhibou.

Kotoko boosted their preparations for the game with a draw in the Ghana Premier League against Berekum Chelsea.

The match will be handled by Gaousou Kane as centre referee, Baba Yomboliba and Amadou Gisse Amadou as assistants.

The fourth official is Boubou Traore with the Match Commissioner being a Moroccan by name Aboulikaecem Abdellah.

The aggregate winners will lock horns with the ultimate victors of the match between Al Hilal Club of Sudan and Ugandan outfit Vipers in December and January.

Kotoko, meanwhile, have set their sights on beating the Mauritanian outfit to the qualifying first round ticket.

Last season, the Porcupine Warriors featured in the Champions League where they were eliminated in the first round by Tunisian fold Etoile du Sahel.
