FC San-Pédro will face FC Nouadhibou this Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Laurent Pokou Stadium in Côte d'Ivoire for the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League. Kick-off is set for 16:00 GMT. The Ivorian champions hope to leverage their home advantage to approach the return match in better conditions.
In the previous round, FC San-Pédro qualified against Nigeria's Rivers United after a two-legged tie. Following two draws, 1-1 away and 2-2 at home, the Ivorians continue their continental journey. They will now need to improve their offensive efficiency against a Mauritanian team also aiming for a spot in the next round.
Franck Amos Yoan will be one of the players to watch for the Ivorians. The forward could play a key role in the quest for a desired result at home. For FC San-Pédro, the goal will be to secure a lead before traveling to Mauritania, scheduled for October 25, while also maintaining a defensive balance against FC Nouadhibou.
