CAIRO: Tanzania’s Young Africans chairman Iman Madega is aiming to make history in Egypt and see his side eliminate CAF Champions League holders Ahly from the competition s early stages.
Yanga were drawn against the Egyptian giants in next month s round of 32, which usually provides no surprises for the six-time African champions.
However, Madega warns Ahly that they will get a contest against the Tanzanians, who hit 14 aggregate goals past Etoile d’Or Mirontsy in the first round.
Ahly are a good team, yes, but we are also good; we are going to make history in Egypt, the Young Africans chairman was quoted as saying by daily newspaper the Citizen.
We have a very good squad, good goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders as well as strikers; we are here to make history.
Ahly will host the first leg on March 15 at Cairo Stadium, while the return leg will be played in Dar El-Salaam three weeks later.
The Tanzanian champions last meeting with an Egyptian team was in the 2000 Cup Winners Cup, where they lost 5-1 on aggregate to Zamalek.
