Korhogo vs FAR Rabat - CAF Confederation Cup

All eyes turn to the home ground on October 17, 2026 as Korhogo welcome FAR Rabat in a CAF Confederation Cup encounter that promises tension, intrigue and no shortage of subplot. Altrincham vs Manchester United U21s highlights and reaction from pre-season fixture.

There is plenty riding on this CAF Confederation Cup encounter for Korhogo and FAR Rabat alike, and neither will want to leave the home ground empty-handed. The hosts will be looking to find their rhythm and put a run of results together. FAR Rabat will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. A young right-back is another position City are interested in adding in, while, in terms of outgoings, goalkeeper James Trafford is close to joining Leeds so will need to be replaced.

Set-piece efficiency and transition play often decide fixtures of this nature, and both managers will have been drilling those phases on the training ground. Florian Wirtz lost possession 17 times in Liverpool's 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City, more than any other player.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. He was an inside forward - a left pocket player who always went for goals.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. Whatever the outcome, the CAF Confederation Cup fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Manchester City will begin another Premier League season with major uncertainty hanging over the club after league chief executive Richard Masters admitted the long-awaited verdict on their financial case has taken longer than expected.
