Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has stressed that they are going to compete in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Although he says not many people give them a chance of doing well, Shimanyula is confident they are not going to be mere participants when they make their continental football debut.
“So many people think Kakamega Homeboyz are going to make numbers in the CAF tournament, but they are extremely wrong and daydreaming because we will prove them wrong,” Shimanyula said.
“Some of these people thought Homeboyz would not beat Tusker to win the FKF Cup, and we did exactly that. They must know we mean business, and it will be the same case in CAF.”
The football administrator is confident that the plans being laid down will help Homeboyz mount a remarkable campaign in Africa.
“We have already put our plans in place, and the team will soon embark on a rigorous residential training camp in preparation for the preliminary round matches,” he added.
“We are also working round the clock to get new signings; the technical bench has requested that we at least beef up the squad in all departments, so we can be able to compete with the best out there. Remember, we will also be in domestic action, so we need a full house squad to be able to achieve our targets.”
CAF has already released the timetable for its club football competitions, and Homeboyz, together with Gor Mahia, who will be taking part in the Champions League, now await to know their preliminary opponents.
