AS PSI of Chad will host Cote d’Ivoire’s CO Korhogo on Friday, 4 September 2026, in the first preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
The first leg will be played at the Stade Olympique Marechal Idriss Deby Itno de Mandjafa, with kick-off scheduled for 15:30.
Both sides will be aiming to establish an advantage before the return fixture, making the opening match an important opportunity for either team to take control of the tie.
AS PSI will have home advantage for the first meeting, as the Chadian club welcomes CO Korhogo to the Stade Olympique Marechal Idriss Deby Itno de Mandjafa. The match will begin the two-legged contest in the competition’s first preliminary round.
For CO Korhogo, the trip to Chad represents the opening stage of its CAF Confederation Cup campaign. The Ivorian side will be looking to return from the first leg with a result that keeps it well placed ahead of the second match.
AS PSI, meanwhile, will seek to make its home fixture count by building a lead or otherwise putting itself in a favourable position before the return leg. The two teams will know that the outcome over the two matches will determine which side progresses from the preliminary round.
The fixture is therefore the first of two meetings between the clubs. Friday’s game will provide the initial result in the tie, while the return match will offer the decisive second opportunity for each side to secure progress.
The encounter will take place at 15:30 at the Stade Olympique Marechal Idriss Deby Itno de Mandjafa. With AS PSI listed as the host, the Chadian club will begin the tie on home ground, while CO Korhogo will play the opening leg away from Cote d’Ivoire.
The CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round brings the two clubs together at the start of their respective contests in the competition. Neither side can settle the tie in this first meeting alone, but both will be seeking a result that gives them momentum and an advantage before the return fixture.
Attention will therefore focus on how AS PSI uses its home status and how CO Korhogo responds on its visit to Chad. The first-leg result will set the conditions for the second match and determine which club carries the stronger position into the remainder of the tie.
