ASEC Mimosas travels to Morocco on Sunday, October 18, 2026, to face Maghreb de Fès (MAS) in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League. The match is set for 18:00 GMT at Stade d’Honneur in Meknès.
For this continental clash, several Ivorian players will be closely watched. In goal, captain Charles Folly Ayayi will need to leverage his experience and composure to thwart Moroccan attacks. Up front, Romaric Amoussou, a Beninese winger known for his speed and one-on-one skills, is a key asset for the Yellow and Black's quick transitions.
In midfield, Guei Semelo will also play a crucial role. His task will be to maintain the team's balance and disrupt the opponent's play. His experience in Moroccan football, gained during his time in the Botola, could benefit ASEC in this matchup.
Against MAS de Fès, ASEC Mimosas will need to demonstrate defensive solidity and efficiency in their attacks. The goal will be to secure a good away result before the return leg, scheduled for October 25 in Abidjan.
