Masters Security FC have disclosed that they will travel with 18 players to Angola to face Pedro de Luanda in a Confederation of African Football (Caf) Confederation Cup preliminary round first-leg tie.<\/p>\n
The team\u2019s Chairperson, Alfred Gangata, said they have trimmed their squad from 40 to 24 players in readiness for the competition.<\/p>\n
Masters will leave for Angola on Wednesday ahead of the first-leg on February 10. The reverse fixture will take place a week later.<\/p>\n
Gangata said the team\u2019s General Secretary, Zachariah Nyirenda, will issue a press statement on the status of their players and progress of preparations for the Caf assignment.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far, so good. We are almost set, and we have the list of players that will travel to Angola. We are planning to travel with 18 or 19 players. I am still in touch with my technical team on other issues; so, once we conclude everything, we will give you all the details,\u201d Gangata said.<\/p>\n
Masters Coach, Abbas Makawa, said preparations for the match against Petro de Luanda were on track, having played against Be Forward Wanderers and TN Stars.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we maintain the rhythm, I have no doubt that we can do better in Angola. We are still targeting players from other clubs so that we should have a strong team that can compete for trophies next season,\u201d Makawa said.<\/p>\n
Masters hired eight players for the Caf campaign, including goalkeeper Chimwemwe Kumkwawa from Mzuni, Rafik Musa and Kondwani Lufeyo from Wanderers.<\/p>\n
