The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed Asante Kotoko’s exit from the Champions League.

Kotoko lost 1-0 in the first leg of the final qualification round to Al-Hilal and saw the second leg cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns in Kotoko’s camp.

The Porcupine Warriors were unable to provide at least 15 players for the clash and as such automatically conceded the match with a 2-0 scoreline for Al-Hilal.

CAF has gone ahead to add Al-Hilal to the teams who will play in the group stages of the competition, confirming Kotoko’s exit.

It is expected that the Porcupine Warriors will challenge the decision.

Asante Kotoko have dropped to the CAF Confederation Cup following the decision by CAF.

The team will arrive in Ghana today from Sudan
